I believe that he is referring to US companies, operating in Venezuela at the time Maduro came to power, had all of their assets and equipment seized for use by the incoming regime.

I know. I assume many of these tankers have been sanctioned for years going back 2 or 3 administrations. Why are we just now enforcing the sanctions. What’s even the point of sanctions?

These tankers are operating around the world. But in the mean time they won't operate in Venezuela. One thing you can say about Trump, he is not a ****y.

Trump’s payoff to the deep state for shutting down our activities in Ukraine?

They have to have a war somewhere.

They nationalized the oil business and took assets from American companies. Use your head man.

So they kicked American companies off land that belongs to Venezuela. Got it.

IIRC, there was some tracking of several vessels in the Biden timeline...I think there were threads here about it...in the Atlantic heading to and disappearing near Venezuela.
