The United States has seized two oil tankers linked to Venezuela. One vessel, previously known as Bella 1 and now called Marinera, was boarded in the North Atlantic after weeks of pursuit by the US Coast Guard. The ship had changed its name and adopted a Russian flag to evade capture. The second vessel, carrying oil and sailing under a Cameroonian flag, was seized in the Caribbean. The seizures are part of President Donald Trump's efforts to enforce sanctions on Venezuela, with the US accusing the tankers of breaking sanctions and shipping Iranian oil. Russia has reportedly deployed a submarine and other vessels to escort the Marinera across the Atlantic, sparking tensions between the US and Russia. For analysis on the matter Elvis Presslin spoke to Dr. Kingsley Makhubela, former diplomat and International Relations Expert
