Jose Ignacio Torreblanca

In this discussion, Jeremy Shapiro, Research Director at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and José Ignacio Torreblanca, a Distinguished Policy Fellow, dive into the U.S. military's dramatic capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. They explore Trump's motivations and the implications of U.S. control over Venezuela’s oil reserves. The conversation shifts to U.S. foreign policy, the role of factional politics in Trump’s decision-making, and potential ramifications for regions like Greenland, questioning whether military force will shape future American engagement across the Americas.
