US Blocks Venezuela's Oil Exports, Tensions Rise

This move aims to cut off Venezuelas main cash source by blocking oil exports. The administration has also labeled Maduros regime a foreign terrorist organization over alleged drug ties. Venezuelan Vice President and Oil Minister Delcy Rodriguez claims oil production hit their target of one point two million barrels per day this weekend. However, opposition oil adviser Evanan Romero predicts a production crash that could spark riots amid food shortages and a plunging currency. Analysts warn this blockade is scaring off the whole shipping industry, with U.S. radar and satellites making it impossible to sneak through. One expert predicts it could halt Venezuelas crude exports entirely, though it might crimp heavy oil output by blocking needed diluent supplies.
