The Trump administration kicks off the new year with a massive foreign policy move in Venezuela, seizing Nicolás Maduro and sending a shockwave through the region and beyond. Buck is joined by Steve Yates of the Heritage Foundation to break down what comes next, why this operation is fundamentally different from past U.S. interventions, and how adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran are likely interpreting the message. They also discuss the implications for Cuba, Latin America, global energy markets, and what this signals about America’s willingness to exert power closer to home.
