<\/a>Trump Says Airspace Above and Around Venezuela Should Be Considered Closed<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nReuters <\/strong>and <\/em><\/span>Algemeiner Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n US President Donald Trump said on Saturday the airspace above and surrounding\u00a0Venezuela\u00a0<\/span>should be considered \u201cclosed in its entirety,\u201d but gave no further details as Washington ramps up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro\u2019s government.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTo all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING\u00a0VENEZUELA\u00a0<\/span>TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,\u201d Trump said in a Truth Social post.<\/span><\/p>\n US officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump\u2019s announcement and unaware of any ongoing US military operations to enforce a closure of\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>n airspace. The Pentagon did not respond to requests for comment and the White House did not provide any further explanation.<\/span><\/p>\n Venezuela<\/span>\u2018s communications ministry, which handles all press inquiries for the government, did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Trump\u2019s post.<\/span><\/p>\n MASSIVE MILITARY BUILDUP IN CARIBBEAN<\/span><\/p>\n David Deptula, a retired lieutenant general who commanded a no-fly zone over northern Iraq in 1998 and 1999, said Trump\u2019s announcement raises more questions than it answers. Imposing a no-fly zone over\u00a0Venezuela\u00a0<\/span>could require significant resources and planning, depending on the goals of the airspace closure, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe devil\u2019s in the details,\u201d Deptula said.<\/span><\/p>\n The Trump administration has been weighing\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>-related options to combat what it has portrayed as Maduro\u2019s role in supplying illegal drugs that have killed Americans. The socialist\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>n president has denied having any links to the illegal drug trade.<\/span><\/p>\n Reuters has reported that options under US consideration included attempting to overthrow Maduro, and that the US military is poised for a new phase of operations after a massive military buildup in the Caribbean and nearly three months of strikes on suspected drug boats off\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>\u2018s coast. Trump has also authorized covert CIA operations in the South American country.<\/span><\/p>\n Maduro, in power since 2013, has contended that Trump is seeking to oust him and that\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>n citizens and the military will resist any such attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump told military service members earlier this week that the US would \u201cvery soon\u201d begin land operations to stop suspected\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>n drug traffickers.<\/span><\/p>\n The streets of Caracas were largely quiet on Saturday morning, though some people braved rain to go shopping.<\/span><\/p>\n Maduro and high-ranking officials in his government, some combination of whom appear almost daily on state television, have decried US imperialism in their recent comments, but do not single out Trump by name, as the\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>n government may be trying to de-escalate tensions, according to security and diplomatic sources. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had previously been the focus of\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>n government ire, but even references to him have decreased in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n The US boat bombings have led to stepped-up surveillance by authorities in the remote northeastern state of Sucre, with increased patrols by security agencies and ruling-party supporters stoking fear among locals, four residents and one recent visitor said.<\/span><\/p>\n GPS signals in\u00a0Venezuela\u00a0<\/span>have also been affected in recent weeks amid the US buildup.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump\u2019s announcement on\u00a0Venezuela<\/span>\u2018s airspace followed a warning last week from the US Federal Aviation Administration that major airlines faced a \u201cpotentially hazardous situation\u201d when flying over\u00a0Venezuela\u00a0<\/span>due to a \u201cworsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around\u201d the country.<\/span><\/p>\n Venezuela\u00a0<\/span>revoked operating rights for six major international airlines that had suspended flights to the country after the FAA warning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Trump Says Airspace Above and Around Venezuela Should Be Considered Closed Reuters and Algemeiner Staff A drone view shows a fishing boat anchored in the Gulf of Paria, and the coast of Venezuela in the back, in Cedros, Trinidad and Tobago, November 17, 2025.
