WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (KUNA) -- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt affirmed that President Donald Trump was going to pursue "our policy that's best for the United States of America."
"That means enforcing the embargo against all dark fleet vessels that are illegally transporting oil," she said at a press briefing on Wednesday.
Leavitt was commenting on the seizure by the US Navy of two Russian flagged oil tankers linked to Venezuela in the North Atlantic earlier today.
"Trump maintains a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I believe those personal relationships are going to continue.
Trump has made clear that seizing sanctioned tankers is the policy of this administration, and he's not afraid to implement it," the WH press secretary affirmed. (pickup previous)
