The Republican leader also linked the reopening of commercial flights between the United States and Venezuela as a harbinger of economic prosperity, especially for the energy sector.
The last U.S. airline to operate routes between the U.S. and Venezuela was American Airlines, which suspended all commercial flights in 2019, when the two countries severed diplomatic relations.
