Donald Trump defended U.S. military actions under "Operation Southern Spear" as an armed conflict against "narco-terrorists," escalating tensions with Venezuela after U.S. Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornets flew near its coast and briefly entered its airspace.Venezuela views these actions, which President Trump described as securing the U.S. homeland and stated Nicolás Maduro's "days are numbered," as a "threat" for regime change and "pure hypocrisy."Simultaneously, the International Air Transport Association expressed concern over flight cancellations to
Venezuela due to safety warnings, impacting thousands of passengers and exacerbating connectivity issues.
