US Captures Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro
The Bulletin
Concerns About Post-Operation Planning
Neumann criticizes the unclear objectives and lack of public planning for governance and nation-building after removal.
Over the weekend, American special forces captured and extracted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Attention shifts now toward New York where Maduro will appear in court for charges of drug trafficking and narcoterrorism. David French and Elizabeth Neumann join Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll to discuss possible reasons for the capture, America’s history with executing regime change, and what could come next for the US and Venezuela.
