Venezuela's foreign ministry called Trump's comments, quote, another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people and said that it was unilaterally suspending all flights deporting Venezuelan migrants.

The Federal Aviation Administration had recently warned airlines of potentially hazardous situation when flying over the country, leading companies to suspend flights and Venezuela to revoke operating rights for six major airlines.

As the U.S.

increases military pressure on the country, President Trump said Thursday that it could begin targeting alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers on land very soon.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes declared Bolsonaro's case closed after his defense exhausted appeals against his conviction.

The former president's preemptive arrest on Saturday is now definite, and his sentence of 27 years and three months is counting.

The far-right leader is now confined to a small room with a single bed, a private bathroom, a TV set and a desk in the federal police headquarters in Brasília.

Bolsonaro's lawyers had requested his house arrest, citing poor health, but Moraes did not concede.
