President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military had seized the "largest" oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
"As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela," Trump said during a Wednesday meeting in the White House's Roosevelt Room. "A large tanker, very large. Largest one ever seized, actually."
"And other things are happening, so you'll be seeing that later," he added.
Trump has previously said that he would not rule out a ground invasion in Venezuela.
