Donald Trump says airspace above and around Venezuela is closed

President made declaration in a social media post, after FAA last week warned airlines of ‘worsening security situation’

Trump, in a Truth Social post said: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”

Venezuela’s communications ministry, which handles all press inquiries for the government, did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Trump’s post.

The US defense department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

US strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean have been under way for months, along with a US military buildup in the region, and Trump has authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela.

The president told military service members this week that the US would “very soon” begin land operations to stop suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers.

I told you! The Epstein files must be close to being released.

Could be interesting to see how this plays out. This will be the first time the US tries to establish a no fly zone over a country with modern air defense. Everywhere else the US has fought since the 70s has not had anything more modern than AA systems from the 70s.

This could get messy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The messier the better for Trump. That way the Epstein files can be quietly buried once they are released. This is the only reason he's about to go to war.
@SW-User I don't know about that. Just because C-130s full of American coffins have never help a president.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow As long as the Epstein files are buried deep in the news cycle, Trump will not care. As I said, the messier the better.
