Venezuela slams Trump's airspace threat as colonialist.
Venezuela condemned President Trump's declaration that its airspace should be considered closed in its entirety, calling it an extravagant illegal aggression and colonialist threat to sovereignty. The pronouncement, made on Truth Social targeting airlines and traffickers, marks another escalation in US pressure against Nicolas Maduro's government following months of naval strikes and military buildup in the Caribbean. At least 82 people have been killed in US strikes on suspected drug boats since September.
