485. Trump Says America will Run Venezuela

Su questo episodio

Trump has announced that Venezuela will now be run by Washington as US forces have captured Nicolás Maduro and taken him to stand trial in New York. After months of escalating tension, Trump launched strikes on the capital and deposed a foreign leader - something the US has not done in Latin America for nearly 40 years. But how will this administration work? Was this attack legal? And what are the broader geopolitical consequences of this move? Join Rory and Alastair as they answer these questions and more in this emergency podcast. __________ The Rest Is Politics is powered by Fuse Energy.
