The UN pushed back after Trump said he wants to completely lock down Venezuelan airspace, with Secretary-General spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric telling everyone to chill and follow international aviation rules. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called the American strikes on boats extrajudicial killings that might break human rights law, and other experts are saying these attacks could count as war crimes. The US military has taken out at least 83 people on 22 boats since September while hunting for drug smugglers.
Trump keeps ramping things up by threatening land operations against traffickers and slapping a $50 million bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Convention on International Civil Aviation says countries have total control over their own airspace, and both America and Venezuela signed onto that deal. Maduro fired back, demanding respect for his country's sovereignty while the US keeps building up its biggest Caribbean military presence since invading Panama back in 1989.
