US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to airlines to avoid the airspace above around Venezuela.

In a post to his truthsocial platform this morning, Trump stated, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Though he offered no explanation, his statement follows a recent warning that the US efforts to stop drug traffickers could move to land-based operations.
