President Trump's blockade of sanctioned oil tankers off Venezuela's coast raises concerns of an undeclared war, with legal experts warning it could provoke military confrontation. While the administration claims the blockade targets only sanctioned vessels, critics argue it risks escalating conflict with Venezuela. The situation has drawn mixed reactions in Congress, with Republicans generally supporting the action. The Pentagon prefers the term 'quarantine' over 'blockade' due to legal implications. Experts debate whether the blockade is a pretext for broader conflict or a strategy to pressure Maduro's regime.
