Show Notes
In the wake of U.S. military action in Venezuela, including the capture of the country’s leader Nicolás Maduro, we’re left with questions about what this moment could mean for the future of U.S. foreign policy and the global economy. On the show today, director of the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center Jason Marczak joins Kimberly to explain why the Trump administration is shifting its focus back toward the Western Hemisphere, harkening back to the Monroe Doctrine. Plus, what it would take to revitalize Venezuela’s economy.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "Experts react: The US just captured Maduro. What’s next for Venezuela and the region?" from the Atlantic Council
- "Donald Trump asserts control over Venezuela—and all the Americas" from The Economist
- "For Big Oil, Venezuela's reserves show long-term promise" from Marketplace
- "What Is the Monroe Doctrine, and How Is Trump Reasserting It?" from Time
- "Dispatches from Venezuela: Red roofs and the new ogling" from Marketplace
Join us tomorrow for “Economics on Tap.” The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time, 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
