US Shuts Down Venezuela Tanker; Rubio Eyes Western Century

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, urged European countries to collaborate with the U.S. to build a "new Western century" during the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, while the U.S. military simultaneously took action against a Venezuela-linked oil tanker in the Indian Ocean. In other international developments, North Korea opened homes for families of soldiers killed fighting in Ukraine, and Italy announced it would attend Donald Trump's Board of Peace as an observer.

Rubio described U.S.-Europe ties as "civilisational," emphasizing the shared values of "Western civilisation," according to Al Jazeera. The U.S. action against the oil tanker, the Veronica III, involved military personnel boarding the vessel in a "right-of-visit, maritime interdiction and boarding," as reported by Sky News. The tanker had been tracked from the Caribbean and was targeted as part of efforts to disrupt illicit oil shipments linked to Venezuela. The Veronica III had departed Venezuela on the same day as Nicolás Maduro was seized in an American military operation, with Washington declaring the tanker had tried to "defy President Trump's quarantine," according to Sky News.

Meanwhile, Italy will attend the first meeting of Donald Trump's Board of Peace as an observer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on Saturday, citing constitutional concerns that prevented Rome from joining as a full member, Euronews reported. The invitation for the February 19 meeting in Washington was received on Friday.

In North Korea, the government opened a housing district in Pyongyang for families of soldiers killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine, according to Euronews. Kim Jong Un toured Saeppyol Street with his daughter, meeting relatives and promising to honor what he called young martyrs. State media showed the event, though the images could not be independently verified.

In other news, an Indian AI infrastructure startup, Neysa, secured backing from U.S. private equity firm Blackstone as it scales domestic compute capacity amid India's push to build homegrown AI capabilities, TechCrunch reported. Blackstone and co-investors agreed to invest up to $600 million in primary equity in Neysa, giving Blackstone a majority stake. The Mumbai-headquartered startup also plans to raise an additional $600 million in debt financing.
