00:00The Venezuelan government has implemented sanctions against six international airlines
00:07that had suspended their operations to Caracas. The measure came into effect after a 48-hour
00:13deadline that President Nicolás Maduro's government gave the companies to resume their
00:17flights expired. The airlines canceled their routes after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
00:24issued a warning last Friday, asking commercial airlines to exercise extreme caution when
00:30flying over Venezuela and the Southern Caribbean.
00:54The crisis comes as the United States maintains an unprecedented military deployment in the
01:02Caribbean as part of an operation announced in November to combat drug trafficking.
01:08On Wednesday, the U.S. Air Force revealed that long-range strategic bombers conducted
01:13strike demonstrations in Caribbean waters this week.
