President Trump is shutting down Venezuelan airspace “in its entirety” amid a surge in drug trafficking from the South American nation, he announced Saturday morning.
“To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Trump wrote in a morning Truth Social post.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The measure comes just two days after the president said he would begin bombing land-based drug trafficking targets.
“The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon,” Trump told reporters.
