美国因委内瑞拉的制裁扣押了两艘油轮,引起国际批评。 U.S. seized two oil tankers over Venezuela sanctions, sparking international criticism.

美国在北大西洋扣押了一艘悬挂俄罗斯国旗的油轮,在加勒比扣押了另一艘船,声称它们作为秘密的“暗船船队”的一部分运作,违反了对委内瑞拉的制裁。 中国谴责这一行动是任意违反国际法的行为,批评使用联合国安全理事会未授权的单方面制裁。 The U.S. seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic and another vessel in the Caribbean, alleging they violated sanctions on Venezuela by operating as part of clandestine “dark fleets.” China condemned the action as an arbitrary violation of international law, criticizing the use of unilateral sanctions not authorized by the UN Security Council. 俄罗斯和委内瑞拉也谴责这次扣押,称其为非法和类似于海盗行为。 Russia and Venezuela also denounced the seizures, calling them unlawful and akin to piracy. 美国坚持认为,这些船只因假旗行动而无国籍,而委内瑞拉最大的石油买主中国则重申其对多边主义和海事规范的承诺。 The U.S. maintains the ships were stateless due to false flag operations, while China, Venezuela’s top oil buyer, reaffirmed its commitment to multilateralism and maritime norms.
