Venezuela’s defence minister has denounced US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a total blockade on oil tankers, calling it piracy and a direct threat to sovereignty. Speaking in Caracas, Vladimir Padrino Lopez said the Bolivarian Armed Forces would not accept armed intimidation or seizure of ships. Trump accused the Maduro government of terrorism and warned of unprecedented consequences. Venezuela dismissed the claims as false and dangerous, urging international action. Officials warned the move could destabilise the Caribbean and endanger global energy security amid rising military pressure. #Venezuela #Trump #OilBlockade #GlobalEnergy #Caribbean #USVenezuela #EnergySecurity #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #WorldNews
