Washington (The Uttam Hindu): US President Donald Trump has announced that the US is reopening commercial airspace over Venezuela. He said a new era in relations between the two countries is beginning, with American oil companies exploring work opportunities in Venezuela.

Trump said at a cabinet meeting that he had spoken with the interim president of Venezuela and ordered immediate action to restore travel. He stated that all commercial airspace over Venezuela would be reopened, and American citizens would be able to travel there very soon. He assured that travelers would be safe. According to Trump, the situation is completely under control. Trump stated that Venezuelans living in the United States are closely watching the decision. He said that people in Miami's Doral neighborhood, known as "Little Venezuela," are very happy with the decision. This change is the result of a successful security operation and improved relations. Trump also praised General Cain and his team for this work.

He attributed this change to a successful security operation and improved relations. Trump said, "As you know, there was a situation regarding Venezuela. I want to thank General Kane and his staff for their work. We've been working very well with them. The relationship has been very strong, very good." Trump said that now the relations between the two countries have become very strong and good. In the field of energy, Trump said that American oil companies have already started going to Venezuela. He said that big oil companies are looking at the possibilities there and are deciding on their work locations.

According to Trump, this will benefit both countries. He said it will generate significant wealth for both Venezuela and the United States, and oil companies will also earn substantial profits. Trump said that after this decision, people in Venezuela took to the streets. He said, "Venezuelans were literally waving American flags in the streets; they were so happy." He directed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and other relevant departments to act swiftly. Trump said that this decision will make travel between the two sides possible. People from Venezuela will be able to return or visit Venezuela if they wish. Venezuela has one of the largest proven oil reserves in the world. American companies were previously active in the energy sector there, but their work had been significantly curtailed due to sanctions and regulations.
