Venezuela has fiercely condemned former U.S. President Donald Trump's surprise call to close all airspace around the South American nation, calling it an 'immoral act of aggression' in a fiery Saturday statement. 🌍💥
The diplomatic clash erupted after Trump posted on Truth Social: 'THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY' – a move Caracas says violates international law and the UN Charter. 📜✈️
Why it matters: Venezuela argues this threatens national sovereignty under the 1944 Chicago Convention, which grants countries exclusive control over their airspace. The government vowed to resist 'foreign interference' while appealing for global support. 🤝🌐
This latest tension comes amid escalating rhetoric between the two nations, with Trump's unexpected social media post adding fuel to longstanding disputes. Analysts suggest this could impact regional stability as 2025 draws to a close. 📉🔍
