Details: Around 3 p.m. Kyiv time, Trump issued a statement strongly advising against using Venezuelan airspace, which could indicate planned US strikes.
Direct speech: “To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers – consider the airspace over and around Venezuela completely closed.”
What preceded: In mid-November, the United States launched a large-scale military operation near Venezuela under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.
Even then, it was assumed that the unprecedented deployment of military forces, including an aircraft carrier strike group, and previous discussions in the White House of options for military operations in Venezuela, indicated the preparation of a military intervention.
On November 28, Trump said that the United States would “very soon” begin to take measures to stop the ground movement of Venezuelans suspected of drug trafficking.
