Sanctioned Tanker Hyperion Challenges Trump's Venezuela Blockade

• US-sanctioned tanker Hyperion arrived in Venezuela, testing President Trump's naval blockade.
• The Barbados-flagged vessel was sanctioned in January for moving Russian oil as a 'ghost vessel'.
• Trump announced a total blockade of sanctioned oil tankers to deprive Nicolás Maduro of revenue.
• Hyperion entered Venezuelan waters Thursday night; its next move after discharge is uncertain.
• Meanwhile, Chevron Corp's unsanctioned oil exports from Venezuela continue unhindered.

Why It Matters: Hyperion's arrival in Venezuela directly challenges Trump's new oil blockade strategy.
