U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday the United States would maybe keep and maybe sell the oil it had seized off the coast of Venezuela in recent weeks, adding the United States would also keep the seized ships.

“Maybe we will sell it, maybe we will keep it,” Trump said, adding it might also be used to replenish the United States’ strategic reserves.
