CARACAS - Venezuela condemned US President Donald Trump’s assertion that the airspace around Venezuela should be considered closed
It called his comments, made earlier, a “colonialist threat” against the country’s sovereignty and incompatible with international law.
Mr Trump said on Nov 29 that the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela should be considered “closed in its entirety”, but gave no further details.
“To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” Mr Trump said in a Truth Social post. REUTERS
