On Saturday, November 29, HuffPost published an article titled 'Trump Says Consider Airspace Above And Around Venezuela To Be Closed 'In Its Entirety''. In the article, the US President's blunt take on the South American country's alleged drug dealing and human trafficking involvement was mentioned. Trump recently wrote in a social media post:

"To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY."

Subsequently, Martina Navratilova took notice of the article on X (formerly Twitter) and reacted to it. In her reaction, the former women's singles and doubles World No. 1 and 18-time singles Major champion opined that Donald Trump's take was all about getting attention away from his alleged involvement in late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.

"Trump will start a war to avoid releasing the Epstein Files," Navratilova wrote.

Earlier this year, Martina Navratilova claimed that Donald Trump's alleged involvement in the controversial 'Epstein Files' is preventing the US President from releasing information about it. The Czech-American tennis legend wrote on X:

"If trump didn’t show in the Epstein files in a really bad way (rapes, pedophilia), he would have released them long ago, no matter who else goes down. He only cares and will ever care about himself. But because it’s clear what he has done, we won’t see them if trump can help it"

Navratilova continues to vociferously criticize the US President's words and actions. After Trump’s controversial comments on immigration detention centers and a perceived lack of coherence in his explanations, she declared,

“This man has no f***ing idea what he is saying."

Through these remarks, spanning governance, justice, immigration, and historical memory, Navratilova continues to assert herself not just as a sports icon, but as a vocal advocate for accountability and human rights.
