United States (Kaab TV) – The U.S. government has seized a vessel for the second time after it departed from Venezuela, according to a preliminary report released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security regarding the planned operation.
U.S. President Donald Trump recently ordered increased targeting of vessels coming from or traveling to Venezuela, with the aim of preventing drugs from entering the United States from that direction, as he stated.
The U.S. Coast Guard said it has made several attempts to intercept various Venezuelan vessels, adding that Washington is focusing on reaching what it described as the final objective of these operations.
The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem—whose department oversees the Coast Guard—shared footage of the operation on her X (formerly Twitter) account, accompanied by brief information about the mission.
