Multiple global developments: Venezuela's economic collapse, contested falls in London homicides, Trump's reshaping of the global economy, and auroras from a solar storm.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a "blockade" of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, increasing the pressure on Nicolas Maduro's government. Trump has not disclosed how his administration would block the sanctioned oil vessels, nor whether he will ask the Coast Guard to intercept vessels like last week. The US has already deployed thousands of troops, nearly a dozen warships and an aircraft carrier in the Carribean.
