US President Donald Trump says he will stop all oil ships that go to and from Venezuela. He says the leader of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, is a bad person. Trump says Maduro and his government do bad things like stealing, selling drugs, and hurting people.

Trump says the US has many warships near Venezuela. He says the US will use more ships if needed. The US also took a ship near Venezuela because it was moving oil. The US says this oil helps Maduro do bad things.

Venezuela is angry about what the US is doing. The government in Venezuela says the US wants to take its oil. Some people in the US also do not agree with Trump. They say stopping ships is like starting a war.
