Latin American countries and a regional organization on Saturday slammed U.S. President Donald Trump for threatening to close the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela. "To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY," Trump wrote earlier on Saturday in a post on Truth Social without elaboration. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has warned several major airlines of a "dangerous situation" and advised them to "act with caution" given the "deterioration of the security situation" and the "intensification of military activities within and around Venezuela." In response, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez noted on Saturday that the U.S. government's attempt to close Venezuela's airspace is an "illegal and unreasonable intervention" in Venezuela's sovereignty. Rodriguez said that in the face of this aggressive attempt by the U.S. side, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has launched a special plan to assist Venezuelan citizens stranded abroad to return home and provide convenience for those who need to leave the country. The Venezuelan government has, in accordance with international law, activated all multilateral mechanisms to demand an immediate halt to this illegal and unlawful act. Later on Saturday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro denounces Trump's threat. Petro questioned on his social media, "Which rule of international law allows the president of one country to close the airspace of another nation? " If such a rule does exist, the concepts of national sovereignty and international law will come to an end, he continued in his post. Also on Saturday, the government of Nicaragua issued a statement, reaffirming its firm support for the people of Venezuela. The statement, jointly signed by the co-presidents of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, said that Nicaragua supports Venezuela's struggle to safeguard its sovereignty and dignity. The same day, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) issued a statement, strongly condemning the U.S. government's threat to Venezuela's airspace sovereignty.
