Venezuela is condemning the president's statement that airspace should be considered closed above the country, Casone said. I want to get your thoughts on this because the stakes are incredibly high here. And in particular, the legality of all of this."
"Yes, you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound on this, and we're in for a pound, Fitzgerald said. The buildup is real. Fitzgerald continued: Members of Congress have been watching this.
