We didn’t plan to release a weekend episode, but that all changed when we woke up to news the U.S. launched attacks on Venezuela and captured the country’s leader. In a news conference later Saturday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. is now “going to run” Venezuela until there’s a safe, proper, and judicious transition. But what does that mean?
Sen. Angus King (I-ME) joined us for a discussion about what comes next, along with some other big picture questions. What happened to getting out of the business of regime change? How does Venezuela’s oil come into the conversation? Who will be the next Venezuelan leader? Will Congress do anything to demand oversight? What will be the unintended consequences? Plus, we discuss how this move stacks up against the recent pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted on similar drug trafficking charges.
