"The UK's Keir Starmer came under fire at the weekly Prime Minister's Questions session from the opposition leader for failing to brief parliament enough on developments in Venezuela and the wider world since the US capture of Nicolas Maduro. "The truth is the prime minister does not want everyone in this House to be able to ask him questions," Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch alleged."
US forces seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic and another tanker in the Caribbean linked to Venezuelan oil. The US had been pursuing at least one tanker after it attempted to evade a U.S. blockade around Venezuela. President Donald Trump said Venezuela's interim government would hand over up to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced criticism for limited briefings and for not yet speaking directly with President Trump, while Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper provided extended Commons briefings.
