President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela should be considered as “closed in its entirety.” The government of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has accused Trump of making a ”colonial threat” and seeking to undermine the South American country’s sovereignty.
The White House did not respond to questions about what Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. It was unclear whether he was announcing a new policy or simply reinforcing the messaging around his campaign against Maduro, which has involved multiple strikes in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean on small boats accused of ferrying drugs as well as a buildup of naval forces in the region.
Retired Navy fighter pilot Matthew “Whiz” Buckley joined LiveNOW from FOX’s Josh Breslow to break down Trump’s warning that Venezuelan airspace is now closed as his cartel crackdown intensifies.
