The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a stark warning about flying over Venezuela, prompting six major airlines to cancel their flights to the country. The move comes as the US prepares to launch a new phase of operations, possibly including covert actions, against the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. According to Reuters, citing US officials, the Trump administration is set to introduce a new phase of operations in the coming days. While the US has not declared war on Venezuela, the FAA's warning highlights the escalating tensions in the region. In response to the FAA's cautionary statement, six airlines have suspended their operations in Venezuela, including Spain's Iberia, Portugal's TAP, Chile's LATAM, Colombia's Avianca, Brazil's GOL, and Trinidad and Tobago's Caribbean. However, other airlines, such as Panama's Copa Airlines and Turkey's Turkish Airlines, continue to operate in the country. The US has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group, Navy warships, and a stealth aircraft to the region, citing the need to combat drug trafficking. However, the move has sparked fears in Caracas that the US may be seeking to overthrow the Maduro government. The US is also set to designate the Cartel de los Soles, allegedly led by Nicolas Maduro, as a terrorist organization, starting Monday. This move has sparked speculation about the US's intentions, with some believing it could signal an imminent military action against the Maduro government. Covert operations and even regime change are reportedly being considered as part of the new phase of action against Venezuela. The situation remains fluid, with the US and Venezuela engaged in a delicate dance of diplomacy and military posturing.
