Everyone’s saying the same thing as Trump makes shocking airspace announcement that could have major impact

Donald Trump made the bombshell announcement on social media

Donald Trump has made a major announcement on social media and it's left everyone saying the same thing.

There's been ongoing tensions between the US and Venezuela regarding alleged drug trafficking.

In recent months, America has been building up a military presence in the Caribbean Sea and has carried out 'bomber attack demonstrations' off the coast of Venezuela.

US Air Force B-52 bombers have also been reported to have killed dozens of people after carrying out strikes on suspected drug-carrying boats in the Caribbean originating in Venezuela and other Latin American nations.

The United Nations has since condemned the strikes and said it was a breach of international law.

Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said: "Based on the very sparse information provided publicly by the US authorities, none of the individuals on the targeted boats appeared to pose an imminent threat to the lives of others or otherwise justified the use of lethal armed force against them under international law."

He also urged the US to halt its 'unacceptable' operations and take measures to prevent the 'extrajudicial killing of people aboard these boats, whatever the criminal conduct alleged against them'.

But Trump seemingly isn't stopping his actions against Venezuela and has now announced that the country's airspace is supposedly closed.

The POTUS often shares his big decisions via social media and this particular announcement was no different.

Taking to Twitter on Saturday (November 29), Trump said: "To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP."

Reacting to the news, one person said: "The way he addressed them together."

Echoing similar sentiments, a second Twitter user wrote: "Bro addressed airlines, pilots and drug dealers in one sentence like they’re all subscribed to his newsletter."

"The way he addresses airlines and traffickers together is unusual," said a third, adding: "Do you think this approach helps clarify his stance or just creates more confusion."

Others raised questions about whether the president has the authority to close Venezuela's airspace and, long story short, he does not, says The Telegraph.

Trump's move in 'closing' the airspace comes after the US aviation regulator warned major airlines of a 'potentially hazardous situation' when flying over Venezuela due to a 'worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around' the area, Reuters reports.
