It seems like there are several things happening with Venezuela, and the drugs and oil seizures are just part of it. It actually started happening back when Hugo Chavez stole from other oil companies, went to court, lost, and was ordered to repay millions of dollars, which never happened. That money is still owed from the court case resolution, and the seizure of boats and oil are part of the restitution for the owed money from the court ruling.
Then, when Biden was president, he allowed (and maybe even helped ) Venezuela to send their gang members to the US, and also released murderers and other bad criminals from prison there and sent them to the US. These are some of the people that ICE has been finding and sending back to Venezuela, who now refuses to take their own criminals back.
Added onto that are the drug runners who are sending the boatloads of fentanyl and other deadly drugs to our country, and there is all kinds of reason for our government to have to stop what is happening with Venezuela.
I am totally in favor of our military stopping the drug boats any way they can, and seizing the oil tankers that are carrying contraband oil and breaking the laws.
