Venezuela is holding a major international aeronautical fair, its first in years, just as the Trump administration steps up pressure on President Nicolás Maduro.⁣ ⁣ The four-day event, happening at a former airbase near Caracas, features aircraft displays, business forums and participation from Russia, Iran and several Latin American countries.⁣ ⁣ President Nicolás Maduro attended the opening ceremony, describing the fair as proof that Venezuela remains active in global aviation despite external pressure.⁣ ⁣ The Trump administration has recently tightened sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector and threatened further measures if Maduro does not step down or agree to new elections.⁣ ⁣ Organisers say the expo aims to revive the country’s aviation industry and attract foreign investment, at a time when most international airlines have suspended flights to Caracas and spare parts remain scarce because of earlier U.S. restrictions.⁣ ⁣ #Venezuela #Maduro #Trump #MaduroTrump ⁣
