President of the United States Donald Trumphas warned on the social network Truth that airlines and pilots must bear in mind that Venezuelan air space is"completely closed . "

"Message to all airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and human traffickers: the airspace in and around Venezuela is completely closed. Thank you for your attention! "the US president said.

The New York Times has released the message after reporting on a conversation between Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in which Venezuela and the US have neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such a call.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is very critical of the Maduro government, has also participated in the interview. However, the two leaders have not agreed on a specific plan for the meeting.

The warning comes in the context of U.S. attacks on Caribbean waters following the deaths of several people.
