President Trump warned that Venezuelan airspace is too dangerous to fly.
"To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY," he posted Saturday on social media.
This comes after the Federal Aviation Administration warned last week that all pilots need to "exercise caution" when flying above Venezuela "due to worsening security situation and heightened military activity."
