The United States has ordered itsmilitary forces to focus on enforcing sanctions targeting Venezuelan oilexports for at least the next two months, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citinga US official.
The official said that whilemilitary options remain on the table, Washington is prioritizing economicpressure to achieve “what the White House is seeking.”
“The efforts so far have put tremendouspressure on Nicolas Maduro,” the official added.
The move comes amid threats by USPresident Donald Trump to carry out land strikes against Venezuela.
Oil exports remain Venezuela’s mainsource of foreign currency and government revenue. While shipments have attimes increased as producers adjusted to restrictions, exports continue to facelimits under US sanctions, often requiring steep discounts and complexlogistics to reach buyers.
US authorities have intensifiedenforcement in recent months, including seizing oil tankers linked tosanctioned Venezuelan crude and adding vessels to sanctions lists, as part ofefforts to disrupt what Washington describes as a “shadow fleet” used to bypassrestrictions.
In response, Venezuela’s legislaturepassed a law criminalizing “blockades and acts of piracy” against its oilshipments, rejecting US actions as unlawful and a violation of the country’ssovereignty.
