You're listening to the 1A podcast. I'm Jen White.

And this is, in case you missed it, where we bring you some of the week's most important conversations you might have missed.

Reuters reports that the U.S. seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker that was being shadowed by a Russian

submarine. That comes after a more than two-week-long pursuit across the Atlantic as part of a U.S.

blockade of Venezuelan oil exports. And last night, President Trump announced that Venezuela

would start sending the U.S. oil. The president

has voiced his desire to control the country's vast oil reserves since ousting Nicolomodoro in a

midnight raid over the weekend. The Venezuelan government hasn't yet confirmed the move,

and the country's leaders continue to condemn U.S. actions in their country as they crack down on

anti-Moduro sentiment.

This begs the question, who is in charge of Venezuela, and what is the relationship between the Trump administration and Delci Rodriguez, their handpicked successor?

Joining us to help answer those questions is Vera Bergen-Gruin.

She's a national security reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

Vera joins us after the break. Back with more in a moment.
