LIVE: Donald Trump says Venezuela airspace now closed as tensions surge [View all]
By Virginia Pietromarchi and Farah Najjar
November 29, 2025
US President Donald Trump declares the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela should be considered “closed in its entirety” in the latest escalation of tensions between the two countries.
The US president’s statement comes as Trump’s administration piles pressure on Venezuela with a major military deployment in the Caribbean that includes the world’s largest aircraft carrier.
No immediate response from Venezuela after Trump’s social media post on Saturday.
US forces have carried out air strikes against more than 20 alleged Venezuelan drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean since early September, killing more than 80 people.
