Venezuela slams Trump’s call to treat its airspace as closed, warns of ‘illegal aggression’
WASHINGTON — Venezuela has condemned US President Donald Trump’s declaration that airlines and pilots should consider the airspace above the country “closed,” calling the statement a “colonialist threat” and an “illegal and unjustified aggression.” Caracas said the US had no legal authority to restrict another nation’s airspace and accused Washington of escalating efforts to destabilize President Nicolás Maduro’s government.

Trump’s post on Truth Social — directed at airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and human traffickers — came amid...
