The reporter learned on the 24th local time that an American official revealed that the US government has ordered the military to focus almost entirely on implementing the blockade measures imposed on Venezuela and the control of sanctioned petroleum for at least the next two months. The official said that the military option remains in place, and the primary goal now is to apply economic pressure through sanctions to meet the demands of the US side. Since the 10th of this month, the United States has intercepted oil tankers in the waters off Venezuela three times and claimed to have confiscated the crude oil carried on them.
