Airspace Closed – Exceptions Apply
In a surprising Twitter move, Donald J. Trump has closed all Venezuelan airspace to civilian and military air traffic. He cited 'security concerns' as the reason, which experts describe as 'typical Trump.'
The real reasons remain unclear. While officially 'humanitarian reasons' were given, rumors in Washington suggest the president simply wanted to avoid flying over Venezuelan territory on a planned trip to Florida with his private jet.
The announcement caused international confusion. The Venezuelan government expressed being 'surprised and slightly amused,' while airlines worldwide adjusted their flight plans. 'We now have a 72-year-old man in the White House who blocks international airspace with tweets,' commented an unnamed Pentagon employee.
