Oil tanker carrying half a million barrels returns to Venezuela after interim leader seeks US military help

Specifically, a New York Times report said that Rodríguez enlisted U.S. military support to return an oil tanker that had left Venezuela without permission and belonged to one of Rodríguez's political adversaries.

According to people close to the Venezuelan government who spoke to the outlet, a joint operation involving the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy boarded the tanker on Jan. 9 and forced it to return to port, marking the first example of military cooperation between the U.S. and Venezuela since Maduro's capture.

According to the report, the tanker left a port in eastern Venezuela shortly after the Jan. 3 military operation in Caracas without authorization from port authorities or Petróleos de Venezuela, the state oil company, which said it was never paid for the half a million barrels of crude it was transporting.
