US President Donald Trump said he was ordering the reopening of airspace over Venezuela after a call Thursday with the country’s acting president, part of an effort to resume ties following the raid to capture Nicolas Maduro.
“We’re going to be opening up all commercial airspace over Venezuela,” Trump said at a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “American citizens will be — very shortly — able to go to Venezuela, and they’ll be safe.”
