US President Donald Trump’s “blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers off Venezuela’s coast was raising new questions about the legality of his military campaign in Latin America, while fuelling concerns that the US could be edging closer to war.

The recently released US National Security Strategy (NSS) marks a sharp geographic and political turn.
