U.S. President Donald Trump: "We are going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

U.S. President Donald Trump on what comes next for Venezuela: “We’re taking billions and billions of dollars’ worth of oil — and it will grow into hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars. Tomorrow, we’re meeting with all the major oil executives.”

Fifteen oil tankers that left Venezuela over the weekend without authorization — most reportedly carrying crude — appear to have mounted a coordinated effort to evade a U.S. Coast Guard and Navy blockade. The vessels are now hundreds of miles offshore and heading east toward Africa and Europe. Satellite imagery and a U.S. military official cited by The New York Times indicate that four tankers were observed moving eastward in the Atlantic, more than 400 miles from South America’s coast, while another group of five was seen sailing northeast through the Caribbean on Monday. That same day, a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke–class guided-missile destroyer was photographed steaming toward the tankers crossing the Atlantic. One vessel, the Veronica — which is not carrying oil — reportedly changed its name to Galileo and reflagged under Russia this week, apparently to avoid a potential U.S. boarding. The Times also identified three additional tankers transporting Venezuelan oil that are now registered in Russia.
