Dutch media on November 29 reported extensively on US President Trump's declaration of Venezuelan airspace as "closed" (NOS, NRC, RTL Nieuws, de Volkskrant). Early afternoon reports detailed the potential reasons for Trump to escalate attacks on land, amidst a broader psychological war against Venezuelan leader Maduro (NRC). This marks a significant shift from previous days' focus on the US National Guard casualties and Ukrainian political developments. By evening, Venezuela reacted strongly, calling Trump's warning a "colonial threat" (NOS, RTL Nieuws, AD.nl).
Concurrently, reports continued on the health risks of counterfeit oxycodone pills, with eight deaths linked to them and a second webshop facing legal action (AD.nl, NOS, RTL Nieuws). Earlier in the day, the US immigration service temporarily halted asylum applications following an attack on the National Guard.
