00:06increasingly aggressive military actions in the Caribbean following the seizure of a

00:10Venezuelan oil tanker off the South American country's coast. Several senators drew attention

00:17to the attacks allowed by the U.S. government and questioned the seizure order, an action they

00:24believed could lead to war with Venezuela. In this regard, Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland

00:30stated that the seizure of the oil tanker indicates that the White House is being dishonest about its

00:35military operations in the region. In addition, Van Hollen added that President Trump's declared

00:41war on drugs is an excuse to interfere in Venezuela's internal affairs.
