The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
American Airlines' return to Venezuela will restore a viable aviation market that never stopped generating demand. Now that the situation in Venezuela seems to be stabilizing, restoring safe and reliable air connectivity is crucial to reconnect families and support Venezuela's recovery.
Establishment-critical narrative
The unilateral blocking of commercial airspace imposed by the U.S. during the first Trump administration was part of a broad chain of aggressions against Venezuela. Now, at last, Trump himself has decided to lift such restrictions in a major victory for the leadership of Venezuela.
