Chapter 2: What is Venezuela's response to President Trump's airspace comments?
Venezuela is now responding after President Trump said Saturday that pilots should consider the airspace over and near that country closed. As Julia Carnero reports, Venezuelan officials are calling the Trump statement a colonialist threat against their sovereignty.
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. For NPR News, I'm Julia Carneiro.
The U.S. military, family and friends last night honored U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, the 20-year-old soldier who died in an ambush while patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C. At a vigil at her former high school in Webster County, West Virginia, school principal Greg Burleson remembered Beckstrom.
She carried herself with quiet strength, a contagious smile, and a positive energy that lifted people around her.
Like Beckstrom, Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe was critically injured, but he is still alive. Suspect Ramanula Lakanwal, one of thousands of refugees from Afghanistan, now faces first-degree murder charges. Police say he had driven across country to launch the ambush attack. The Trump administration is halting all asylum decisions as a result of this shooting.
And they have paused the visa process for people traveling on Afghan passports. and plan to review the status of Afghans already in the United States. In Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney says that he plans to travel to Washington in the coming week and will see President Trump. But as Dan Karpinchuk reports, Carney also cautioned Canadians not to read too much into the visit,
in connection with any resumption of trade talks.
