In a pre-dawn action early this morning on Dec. 20, the US Coast Guard with the support of the Department of War apprehended an oil tanker that was last docked in Venezuela.

The United States will continue to pursue the illicit movement of sanctioned oil that is used to fund narco terrorism in the region. We will find you, and we will stop you.

Weird how, when it's an oil tanker, they have zero problem boarding it. But when it's supposedly a boat full of drugs, the only possible course of action is to fire a missile at it, destroying any evidence of whether or not there were actually drugs, and killing any witnesses. Oh what's that, some witnesses survived? Better go back and double tap. Funny that.
