President Donald Trump earlier on Thursday asked the U.S. Transportation Department to lift restrictions that currently bar U.S. flights.
American suspended service in 2019 after the U.S. barred flights. The United States earlier this month attacked Venezuela and seized the country's president, Nicolas Maduro, in a military operation.
