TRUMP ORDERS VENEZUELA AIRSPACE SHUT U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela’s airspace should be considered completely closed, warning airlines, pilots, drug traffickers, and human smugglers to stay away. Posting on Truth Social, he declared the airspace “CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” though only Venezuela’s government can legally impose such a closure. His statement comes after weeks of U.S. military actions against vessels accused of smuggling drugs from Venezuela and follows his warning that strikes on land targets could begin “very soon.”(*Walter Bloomberg)
