DHS Suspends Air Travel Between the U.S. and Venezuela

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin K. McAleenan has determined that conditions in Venezuela threaten safety and security and thus is suspending all commercial and cargo flights between the United States and Venezuela.  The flight suspension takes effect immediately and will remain in place indefinitely.

The flight suspension follows the January suspension of U.S. consular services in Venezuela and the ejection of U.S. diplomats from that nation.
