The United States has returned a seized oil tanker to Venezuela in a move that marks the first known instance of such an action under President Donald Trump’s administration, according to two U.S. officials who spoke with Reuters. The decision has drawn attention due to the long-standing U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and Washington’s tough stance on its oil exports. The tanker, identified as the Panama-flagged supertanker M/T Sophia, had been seized earlier this month during U.S. interdiction operations. The U.S. Coast Guard, which oversees maritime interdiction and seizure missions related to sanctions enforcement, has not immediately responded to requests for comment. Historically, the United States has seized or redirected tankers linked to Venezuela as part of efforts to restrict the country’s oil trade and pressure its government.
