Venezuela Calls Trump’s Airspace Closure Warning a ‘Colonialist Threat’
Venezuela has labeled President Donald Trump’s warning about closing its airspace as a colonialist threat. The foreign ministry criticized his statement as illegal and unjustified aggression against its people. Although the U.S. lacks the authority to close another nation’s airspace, Trump’s remarks may create travel uncertainty for airlines.
Recently, the U.S. has increased its military presence in the Caribbean under the guise of combating drug trafficking. Venezuela’s President Maduro dismissed these claims as efforts to destabilize his government. Amid rising tensions, Venezuela banned six major international airlines for failing to comply with its demands. The escalating situation calls for international scrutiny and support for Venezuela.
