Alexander Aviña

This week’s guest is Alexander Aviña, a scholar specializing in Latin American politics. He dives deep into Trump’s controversial actions in Venezuela, discussing the implications of Maduro's alleged kidnapping and the muted response from Latin American leaders. Aviña also examines the strategic motives behind U.S. interventions, connecting them to oil interests and countering China. The conversation shifts to domestic issues, linking ICE’s violence to broader interventionist policies, and reflecting on the political landscape shaped by these events.
