That means that the task will likely fall to 1 of just 2 teams of specialists - known as Maritime Security Response Teams - who can board vessels under these circumstances, including by rappelling from helicopters.The days-long pursuit highlights the mismatch between the #Trump admin's desire to seize “sanctioned” #oil tankers near #Venezuela & the limited resources of the agency that is mainly carrying out operations, the #CoastGuard.#RunBellaRun #Trump #law #InternationalLaw #piracy #theft
