Yesterday was quite the day for Venezuela, and I’d like to talk about what this potentially means for aviation and airlines. I may not have a lot of answers, but I do have a lot of questions!
The Trump administration has stated that the United States will “run” Venezuela, and will tap into the country’s oil reserves. Exact details of what that will look like remains to be seen, but the expectation is that a group of officials will be named to oversee the country.
Trump said that he’ll decide who the ultimate next leader is, because “we can’t take a chance that somebody else takes over Venezuela that doesn’t have the good of the Venezuelan people in mind,” and “we don’t mind saying it, but we’re going to make sure that that country is run properly.” Trump also made it clear that “we’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” if it’s needed.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
