To forestall the inevitable comments; this is in accordance with international law. UNCLOS allows nations to board stateless ships, or those they suspect to be sailing under a false flag _if they think it’s really a ship of their nation_. The article says:
> When the pursuit began, US authorities believed the Bella 1 was sailing under a false flag and therefore subject to a court order for seizure.
But this misses the vital proviso that a warship can only challenge a flag believed to be false if they believe that the true flag is their own flag. Once the Russian or indeed any flag at all is raised then they have no right to board unless they genuinely think it’s actually an American ship.
Previously the seizures have been of “stateless” ships where the American authorities leant on the authorities of the flag nation to revoke it’s certification of the vessel and make it therefore stateless whilst at sea. Obviously not something Russia is going to do.
If you’d like to read the relevant provisions, you’re looking for Article 110 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea

Trump gave all the terrorists and drug cartels a loophole. Now you can just throw this rag and the US won’t touch you, they’ll even escort you so that no one touches you. Now with the Russian flag you can kill anyone you want in the US and no one will touch you.

Perhaps in Anchorage, Putin discussed not only Ukraine but also Venezuela with Trump.
