Abstract

The article discusses the tanker Hyperion, which has been sanctioned by the US for transporting Russian oil and may be the first vessel to challenge President Donald Trump's naval blockade of Venezuela. The Hyperion recently arrived in Amuay, Venezuela's largest refining complex, after loading supplies in Murmansk, Russia. Trump announced a total blockade of sanctioned oil tankers to cut off oil revenues from President Nicolás Maduro's government, while Chevron Corp continues to export Venezuelan oil without disruption, having received approval for two unsanctioned tankers to depart. The situation raises concerns about potential military actions, as Trump indicated he does not rule out the possibility of war with Venezuela. [Extracted from the article]
