The United States military and police took a big oil ship. It was in the sea near Venezuela. President Donald Trump said this happened. It is to put pressure on Venezuela's government. US officials said the ship was moving oil secretly.
Many US groups worked together. Venezuela said it was "piracy." Video showed soldiers landing on the ship. The work was hard and needed many people.
A US leader said why they took the ship. The ship had US rules against it for years. It moved oil from Venezuela and Iran secretly. The ship helped groups that support bad things. This is for US safety.
The US government thinks Venezuela's leader is bad. This ship taking stops Venezuela's oil money. President Trump said it is the biggest ship the US ever took.
Venezuela is very angry. They said it was "theft." They said the US wants their oil. This will make problems bigger. Oil prices went up a little.
People worry about ships in the sea. Insurance costs might go up. This shows the US will use force. It can affect other countries. People watch what happens next.
