The US will keep the oil and ships that it seized off the coast of Venezuela, President Donald Trump said Monday.
"We're going to keep it...Maybe we will sell it, maybe we will keep it. Maybe we'll use it in the Strategic Reserves. We're keeping the ships also," he told reporters in the state of Florida.
Trump last Tuesday declared a "total and complete blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela.
