Venezuela has accused US President Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he claimed the airspace over the country should be treated as closed. Venezuela said the statement was illegal and aimed at creating fear. Trump’s post warned airlines, pilots, and others to avoid Venezuelan airspace. The US has no authority to close another nation’s airspace, but the warning may disrupt travel. Tensions are rising as the US increases its military presence near Venezuela, saying it is fighting drug trafficking. Venezuela says the real goal is to remove President Nicolás Maduro. US lawmakers from both parties have criticised Trump’s actions. (PC: BBC)
