The President of the United States, Donald Trump, ordered on Thursday the reopening of commercial airspace over Venezuela, amid the process of political reconfiguration driven by the current U.S. administration after the capture of the narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro.
The announcement was made by the President himself during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, where he confirmed that the decision had already been communicated to the Chavista authorities. According to his explanation, the instruction was transmitted directly to Delcy Rodríguez, the official in charge of the Venezuelan transitional regime.
"I just spoke with the President of Venezuela and I informed her that we're going to open all commercial airspace over Venezuela", Trump stated before the officials present.
In accordance with what was detailed by the head of state, the order must be executed immediately. In that regard, he indicated that he gave precise instructions to different areas of the federal government to speed up the process and enable commercial flights again.
