US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

Meanwhile, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado missed Wednesday's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, but provided a last-minute surprise by announcing that she is in fact on her way to Oslo despite threats from the ruling Socialist government in Caracas warning that she would make herself a fugitive if she "fled" Venezuela. 00:00 Trump confirms US seized 'very large' oil tanker off coast of Venezuela 00:58 John Feeley, Former US Ambassador to Panama 06:54 Venezuelan pro-democracy politician Maria Corina Machado's daughter accepts Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1 #Trump #Maduro #Venezuela #Machado
