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.
Just so it’s clear, Venezuela has ample oil, and holds one of the world’s top ten supplies of fresh water.
Didn’t they also heavily develop a lithium extraction industry in the last decade or so?
i think they have 2nd highest amount of oil/gas deposit outside of the ME.
