Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.

The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.

The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.

    Russia conducts special military operations, while the US is fighting terrorism. It’s all the same. Except our media outlets - in the case of my country, mostly American - will only speak about one of the two. Let’s do our best to spread the word more or less evenly.

    All empires will fall. They have to. Otherwise there’s no future for humanity.
