Show Notes

The Trump administration is pushing forward with its oil-driven agenda in Venezuela. President Donald Trump is set to welcome oil industry executives to the White House later this week to talk about kickstarting production there again. Meanwhile, Trump appears to be easing up on some of the hardline stances he took against other countries in the wake of the shock military action to capture Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela over the weekend. The president seems to be easing his position on Colombia and Greenland after members of Congress expressed concern. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns discuss the shift. Plus, Congress is finally eyeing a vote on the now-expired Obamacare subsidies.
