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.

    Im certain the nobel commitee is currently scrambling how to not give him an award without triggering an international incident.

    And the actions surrounding Venzuela kinda prove that Trump is willing to go to war to receive his peace price.
