Will Trump Ignite World War 3? America's Capture Of Russian Tanker Explained By Abhishek Kapoor

The United States has taken control of an oil tanker flying the Russian flag in the Atlantic following a spectacular week-long high seas pursuit. After fleeing the US embargo of Venezuela last month, the sanctioned ship changed its name from the Bella 1 to the Marinera and was captured early on Wednesday. Another sanctioned tanker, the M/T Sophia, which the US alleged was "conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea," was also taken into custody. According to Abhishek Kapoor, Senior Executive Editor, Trump's outrageous acts could pave the way for a third global war, and the UN's maritime norms do not restrict America's actions.
