Part 5/10:
President Trump publicly announced plans to shut down Venezuelan airspace entirely, issuing a warning to airlines, pilots, drug traffickers, and human traffickers. This threat came after a reported tense phone conversation with Maduro, which notably failed to produce any diplomatic consensus. According to reports from the Miami Herald, Maduro demanded control over Venezuela’s military if he agreed to hold free elections and sought amnesty for his alleged crimes, including drug terrorism. Trump, however, rejected these demands outright, reportedly telling Maduro to resign or face further consequences.
