Trump said- Venezuela is surrounded by a large naval fleet
Increasing pressure on Venezuela, Trump in December ordered a complete blockade of the movement of banned oil tankers to and from Venezuela. Trump had said that Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest naval fleet ever in the history of South America.
Trump wrote on his Truth social platform that this siege will increase further unless Venezuela returns the oil, land and other assets stolen from America.
He told reporters on December 22 that it would be wise for Maduro to give up power, but what he wants to do is entirely up to him.

Dispute between America and Venezuela regarding oil companies
Trump claims that Venezuela had illegally taken away oil rights from American companies. In fact, in 1976 the Venezuelan government (at the time of President Carlos Andrés Pérez) nationalized the entire oil industry.
This meant that the foreign oil companies (mostly American, such as Exxon, Gulf Oil, Mobil, etc.) that had been extracting oil there for decades had all their operations and assets passed to Venezuela’s new state-owned company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).
This nationalization happened legally and compensation was also given to the companies, although some companies were not happy with it. At that time, American companies played a big role in developing the oil industry in Venezuela, so some people still call it an American property.
On December 10, America seized a very large Venezuelan crude oil tanker after a special operation.
