US won't OK Maduro flight
Venezuela said on Thursday the United States had banned President Nicolas Maduro's jet from flying through US airspace over Puerto Rico en route to a state visit to China. Maduro is due in Beijing this weekend for bilateral talks. Foreign Minister Elias Jaua denounced the US rejection of the flight plan, adding that the move would not stop Maduro from visiting China.
