The White House has ordered US military forces to focus almost exclusively on enforcing the "quarantine" of Venezuelan oil for at least the next two months, a US official told Reuters on Wednesday.
"While military options still exist the focus is to first use economic pressure by enforcing sanctions to reach the outcome the White House is looking," the official said.
The statement could dampen the immediate prospect of US land strikes against Venezuela that US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said may take place.
