Trump’s latest warning hints US military action

A United States military action within Venezuela is imminent following President Donald Trump’s comment on Saturday via his Truth Social handle.

Advising airlines, pilots, and criminal networks to avoid the country’s territory, he wrote: “Please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.”

Venezuela has pushed back against the unilateral embargo, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs describing Trump’s statement as a “colonialist threat.”

The ministry noted that the warning targets the sovereignty of Venezuelan airspace, and constitutes “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression” against the people.

The U.S. has assembled a large military force near Venezuela, deploying warships and about 12,000 sailors and marines under Operation Southern Spear.
