Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.
The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.
The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.
Speculation? Let me speculate it’s the same reason as Iraq 2, Iraq 1, Iran (Shah)…
I’m saying that previously at least there was some official reason given. This time they don’t even bother with it.
