WASHINGTON, D.C. (KYMA) - President Trump is taking aim at Venezuela's main source of revenue.

On social media Wednesday, President Trump announced a "complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela."

This comes a week after a sanctioned oil tanker was seized, followed by fatal strikes on alleged drug boats.
