The threat comes hot on the heels of a dramatic US intervention in Venezuela, and threats to take over Greenland.

Jonathan Freedland takes the Long View of US intervention abroad, exploring revealing parallels between current foreign policy and a covert American intervention in Guatemala in 1954.
Guests: Dr Grace Livingstone, Affiliated Lecturer at the Centre of Latin American Studies, University of Cambridge; Jon Lee Anderson, staff writer, The New Yorker
Producer: Dan Hardoon
