President Trump announced early Saturday morning that the United States had carried out a strike against Venezuela and captured its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife. The pair was taken to the US where they face terrorism- and drug trafficking-related charges.
A few hours later, Trump announced that the US would be administering the country of Venezuela until there could be a “safe, proper, and judicious transition.”
On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg’s Nathan Hager sits down with Latin America regional editor Crayton Harrison to talk about the situation on the ground following the strike and what’s at stake for the people of Venezuela, its neighbors in the region and the global economy.
