Venezuela is facing mounting diplomatic and economic isolation as regional governments, airlines and international bodies react to escalating tensions between Caracas and Washington.
The latest dispute erupted after U.S. President Donald Trump declared Venezuela’s airspace “closed in its entirety,” a move Colombia condemned as a breach of international norms. Bogotá’s government warned the decision creates “unnecessary tension” and urged respect for regional sovereignty, while a leading Latin American think tank described the U.S. stance as a violation of international law.
Caracas, already strained by flight suspensions from major carriers, responded by reinforcing accusations that Washington is attempting to destabilise the country and seize control of its vast oil reserves. President Nicolás Maduro’s government has filed a formal complaint to OPEC, warning that U.S. military deployments in the Caribbean threaten both national sovereignty and global oil market stability.
Inside Venezuela, the National Assembly announced a special commission to investigate alleged “extrajudicial executions” linked to recent U.S. strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats. Lawmakers say they will push for involvement from the Attorney General’s Office and demand action from international legal bodies.
The rising diplomatic fallout adds further pressure on an economy weakened by low oil output, inflation, chronic shortages and the growing exodus of Venezuelans seeking to leave the country.
