President Trump announced on social media Tuesday a "total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers" going in and out of Venezuela. Some details remain unclear, including when the order would be implemented and how many tankers could be involved.

President Trump on Tuesday called for a "total and complete blockade" on all sanctioned oil tankers that enter or depart Venezuela, as the administration heaps pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

President Donald Trump’s political base has offered little resistance to his escalating pressure campaign on Venezuela.

Trump this week imposed a "total and complete" blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.
