Odaily Planet Daily News: White House Press Secretary Levitt said on Wednesday that despite concerns that seizing sanctioned tankers could escalate tensions with Russia, Trump is “not afraid” of continuing to seize these tankers. She told reporters at a press briefing: “Trump will enforce policies that are most beneficial to the United States. This means implementing an embargo against all illegal oil-transporting ‘shadow fleets.’” Levitt made these remarks several hours after the U.S. military took control of two tankers, including one flying the Russian flag, which the U.S. military had been tracking for more than two weeks. She downplayed the risk that this action could trigger U.S.-Russia tensions and argued that Trump maintains a good relationship with Putin.
