"To all airlines, pilots, drug traffickers and human traffickers: please consider the AIRSPACE OVER VENEZUELA AND AROUND IT COMPLETELY CLOSED."

– Trump said in all caps.

The U.S. leader did not provide further details.

Sources speaking to The New York Times said that last week Trump had a call with Venezuela's pro-Russian dictator Nicolás Maduro, during which they discussed the possibility of meeting in person.
