Trump Plans Venezuela Trip, First U.S. President Visit Since Bill Clinton
President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House on Friday afternoon that he plans to visit Venezuela, but offered no details or timeline. If it happens, it would be a historic trip, coming as Venezuelan oil flows accelerate under tighter U.S. oversight.
"I'm going to make a visit to Venezuela... We haven't decided [when]," Trump told reporters, adding that he also had a "good meeting" with Venezuela's neighbor, Colombia.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg wrote in his Feb. 12 ruling that the government must parole those deportees into U.S. custody if they present themselves at a port of entry and provide them due process to contest their deportation.
Boasberg said his ruling was intended to mirror a Supreme Court ruling from last year, which upheld U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis's order that the government “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The government will also have to pay for the flights and provide a boarding letter to the deportees, but that only applies to those flying in from a third country, not Venezuela itself.

Trump's Venezuela Tanker Crackdown Goes Global With Indian Ocean Interdiction
U.S. forces boarded the crude tanker Aquila II in the Indian Ocean after tracking it from the Caribbean, the Department of War disclosed on X early Monday. Officials accuse the vessel of violating Washington's quarantine on sanctioned tankers moving to or from Venezuela.
"When the @DeptofWar says quarantine, we mean it. Nothing will stop DoW from defending our Homeland — even in oceans halfway around the world," DoW wrote on X.
DoW said U.S. forces boarded the tanker Aquila II in the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) area. It claims Aquila II was evading President Trump's quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean area.
