3:49Now PlayingThe US has seized an oil tanker that had recently departed from Venezuela, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.
It is the second time this month that an oil-carrying ship has been seized off the country's coast.
The move comes after President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was ordering a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.
Venezuela has described the latest US move as "theft and kidnapping". It has previously accused the Trump administration of trying to steal its resources.
