Coast Guard Takes Another Ship in the Caribbean

The U. S. Coast Guard is busy again. This time, they are stopping a ship in the Caribbean Sea. The ship is near Venezuela. It is one of those ships that the U. S. has put sanctions on. Three U. S. officials say this is happening. But they don't say which ship it is or where exactly it is happening. This is not the first time. Just a little while ago, on December 10th, the Coast Guard took another ship. It was called The Skipper. It was an oil tanker. The U. S. says it was part of a shady oil deal with Venezuela. The Coast Guard had help from the Navy's helicopters to take it.So, what's the big deal? The U. S. is trying to stop ships that break the rules. But why? It's all about controlling who can do what in the waters. The U. S. is using its power to make sure its rules are followed. But is this the best way? It's a tricky situation. The news about the second ship came from Reuters. They were the first to report it. But there's not much detail yet. It's all a bit secret. The Coast Guard is doing its job. But what does this mean for everyone else? It's a big deal. It shows how serious the U. S. is about its rules.
