🚨🇻🇪🇺🇸 VENEZUELA UPDATE – U.S. | AIR CRISIS AND POLITICAL ESCALATION
Trump lit the fuse: HE REQUESTED THAT THE AIRSPACE “OVER AND AROUND VENEZUELA” BE CONSIDERED CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.
His message was directed at airlines, pilots, and even networks linked to drug trafficking and human trafficking. Immediate result: suspensions and cancellations of flights to/from Venezuela.
But beware: there is no evidence of a formal “air blockade.” Neither the Pentagon nor the White House has published operational directives supporting a real no-fly zone. Today, the measure functions more as geopolitical pressure than as an effective closure.
Caracas reacted: it denounced a violation of sovereignty and accused the U.S. of “state terrorism.” Maduro responded by revoking permits for six international airlines, further aggravating the country’s air disconnection.
Everything occurs amid a greater deterioration:
• The U.S. increased military deployments in the Caribbean under the “anti-drug” package.
• Washington warns of operational risks regarding Venezuela.
• Airlines were already fearing to operate after new security alerts.
In summary: the crisis escalates, air traffic decreases, and both governments raise their tone. There is no declared military blockade, but there is a de facto closure out of fear, pressure, and retaliation. And this could escalate if Washington formalizes the measure or Caracas counters with new restrictions.
We remain vigilant. ✈️🔥
