What does that mean?

United States President Donald Trump announced the "closure" of airspace over Venezuela.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the US president's publication in Truth Social.

-"To all airlines, pilots, drug and human traffickers, please consider the airspace over and around Venezuela completely closed," the US president said.

"Closing the skies, or "no-fly zone" over a certain territory means banning any flights over it, including military planes and helicopters.

In the case of a conflict between the United States and Venezuela, such a statement by Trump could mean preparations for combat operations in the skies of the South American country.
