The government of the Russian Federation submitted a formal diplomatic request to the United States (USA) to stop the pursuit of an oil tanker that was sailing to Venezuela and that now avoids the Coast Guard in the Atlantic Ocean.
According to two people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke about the diplomatic message on condition of anonymity, the request was delivered to the State Department on New Year's Eve.
They noted that the note was also sent to the White House National Security Council, which could add a new twist to negotiations on ending the conflict in Ukraine and increasing tensions between Russia and the United States (USA) over Venezuela.
