United States President Donald Trump has announced a complete closure of airspace over Venezuela, a statement that could signal preparations for new actions in the region.

He wrote about this in Truth Social .

United States President Donald Trump has announced on his Truth Social account a closure of airspace over Venezuela. According to the American leader, the restriction applies to all types of flights.

“To all airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace over and around Venezuela completely closed,” the US president said.

It is noted that the concept of closing the sky or no-fly zone implies a ban on any flights over the territory, including military aircraft and helicopters. Such a decision may have military-political consequences, as it creates the prerequisites for possible operations in Venezuelan airspace.

Analysts emphasize that the US President’s statement came against the backdrop of tense relations between Washington and Caracas. If the situation further escalates, it could affect the security balance in the region.

The publication also draws attention to the fact that such steps by the United States are usually associated with preparations for increased control over movement in a potential conflict zone.

Recall that the administration of US President Donald Trump has identified military facilities in Venezuela that, according to it, are used for drug smuggling, and is considering options for air strikes on them .

Earlier, United States President Donald Trump announced his intention to launch a ground operation by the American military in Venezuela . The main goal is to combat drug trafficking.

As is known, the United States has significantly increased its naval presence in the Caribbean , deploying the USS Iwo Jima and USS Gravely in close proximity to the coast of Venezuela.

By the way, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is considering resigning in exchange for personal safety and guarantees of immunity from the United States.
