U.S. Seizes Russian-Flagged Oil Tanker

The White House says U.S. forces have seized a sanctioned Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic, enforcing federal sanctions on oil shipments. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters the vessel was taken under a federal court seizure order after being tracked as part of a so-called shadow fleet. The crew will face prosecution and be brought to the United States. Russia condemned the action as illegal, calling it a violation of maritime law and “piracy,” and is demanding humane treatment and the return of its crew. Daniel Compatangelo reports.
