标题：America chases down the shadow fleet serving Venezuela

POTUS is determined to enforce its oil blockade

正文：It was a slow-motion naval chase. Last month in the Caribbean the US Coast Guard attempted to board the Bella 1, an oil tanker used to smuggle oil in defiance of American sanctions. The attempt failed. Weeks later the Bella 1 turned up in the Atlantic with a new name (the Marinera) and a new flag (Russian). A Russian submarine was en route to protect it. But on January 7th American forces pounced before the Russians could arrive, rappelling onto the ship near Iceland and seizing it by force. The same day, thousands of miles away, American forces also seized another tanker, the M Sophia, in Caribbean waters. The raids are the latest assertion of American power to follow the abduction of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s president, on January 3rd.

知识点：slow-motion adj. /ˌsloʊ ˈmoʊʃn/
happening at a slower speed than normal. 慢动作的
e.g. The replay showed the goal in slow-motion detail. 回放以慢动作详细展示了进球过程。
