The U.S. Coast Guard has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela in international waters, marking the second vessel interdicted in recent weeks, according to U.S. officials. This operation comes amid a significant military build-up by the United States in Latin America.

Meanwhile, major tech companies, Apple and Google, have advised workers on visas to avoid leaving the U.S. due to delays at consulates and embassies, which could leave them stranded.
