Donald Trump raised his tone against Nicolas Maduro and declared that Venezuela’s airspace was “completely closed.” A statement by the President of the United States, indicating the possibility of North American air operations in the country, was issued on Saturday (29/11).
“To all airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace over and around Venezuela completely closed,” the US President wrote in a post on the Truth social network.
The US President did not provide further details about the statement. However, it coincides with US military movements in Latin America and the Caribbean – and with threats against Maduro.
On Thursday (11/27), Trump announced that ground attacks in Venezuela may occur in the near future, as part of the US military campaign against drug trafficking in the region.
Maduro and figures associated with the high level of the Chavista regime, contested by part of the international community, have been the main targets of threats coming from Washington.
In July of this year, the President of Venezuela was appointed head of the Los Soles cartel by the Trump administration, which the United States recently designated as an international terrorist organization. The change also affected other groups, and opened loopholes for US military operations in other countries, under the justification of combating “drug terrorism.”
