India Today
US President Donald Trump said he had instructed US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and military officials to open Venezuela's airspace by the end of the day. He further said that major American oil corporations would be flying in to scout locations.
US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that Americans would soon be able to visit Venezuela, shortly after stating that he had informed interim President Delcy Rodrguez that the country’s airspace would reopen by the end of the day.
Last November, Trump declared that the airspace "above and surrounding Venezuela" would be considered "closed in its entirety." Although it was not a legal closure announced by Venezuela, several international flights suspended operations amid a US naval build-up in the Atlantic ahead of Nicolas Maduro’s ouster.
He said that he instructed the US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and US military officials to open Venezuela's airspace by end of the day. He further said that major American oil corporations would be flying in to scout locations.
"American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela, and they’ll be safe there," said Trump.
