Marine infantry and sailors took control of the tanker Veronica before dawn, the US Southern Command, said in a post on X. The operation was reportedly carried out without incident.
US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X that the vessel was a sanctioned tanker that had previously transited Venezuelan waters and violated a blockade imposed by President Donald Trump.
