The U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker linked to Venezuela and a vessel considered to be stateless and "conducting illicit activities," according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "In two predawn operations today, the Coast Guard conducted back-to-back meticulously coordinated boarding of two “ghost fleet” tanker ships— one in the North Atlantic Sea and one in international waters near the Caribbean," Noem wrote in an update on X. | The National Desk - TN
