The United States is taking oil ships from Venezuela. This is a strong move. The US wants to stop Venezuela's oil. This is to weaken their government. The US Southern Command took a ship. It is called Sagitta. They will not let sanctioned oil leave.
This happened before in December. The US wants to stop money for Venezuela. US officials say the oil is stolen. Some experts think this is not right. It might hurt Venezuela's rights.
The US may also use military actions. There are reports about capturing Nicolás Maduro. The US wants María Corina Machado to help. President Trump talked about this.
Venezuela took its oil in 1971. Now the US wants more power. Stopping oil exports may not work. Venezuela's government is still strong. Armed groups are also active.
These US actions can change the region. The future is not clear. It is about who will control Venezuela's oil.
