The United States stopped a ship. It carried oil from Venezuela. This is a US plan. The ship was in the sea. It was near Barbados. A US team took the ship.
This happened on Saturday. The US is serious about Venezuelan oil. This is like a past event. The US is using rules strongly. The ship is called "Centuries." It sails for Panama.
The ship left Venezuela. It was in the sea. The US wants to stop bad oil moving. They think oil helps bad things. A leader said, "We will stop you."
The US calls this a blockade. The President ordered this. Ships with Venezuelan oil can be stopped. This is because the US and Venezuela have problems. The US wants to stop Venezuela's leader.
Venezuela is not happy. They say it is theft. They call it piracy. Venezuela is worried about the ship's people. They will tell the United Nations.
