"Speaking at the White House during his cabinet's first meeting of the year, Trump said he had just concluded a telephone conversation with Venezuela's acting president (and former vice-president), Delcy Rodriguez, in which he informed her of the decision to restore flight access. We're going to be opening up all commercial airspace over Venezuela, Trump told the gathering on Thursday. American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela and they'll be safe there."
"We're going to be opening up all commercial airspace over Venezuela, Trump told the gathering on Thursday. American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela and they'll be safe there. The president said he had instructed the US transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, and Pentagon officials to implement the change before the day's end.

Donald Trump ordered the immediate reopening of commercial airspace over Venezuela after US military forces removed Nicolas Maduro. He concluded a telephone conversation with acting president Delcy Rodriguez and informed her of the decision to restore flight access. He instructed US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Pentagon officials to implement the change before the end of the day and described the security situation as under strong control after Rodriguez replaced Maduro. Direct commercial flights had been suspended since May 2019 for safety reasons, and the FAA had warned pilots amid heightened military activity. The reopening signals rapid normalization of relations and potential access to Venezuela's oil reserves, though substantial infrastructure investment would likely be required to restore production.
