Trump, Venezuela & the U.S. Military, Regime Change or Drug War?
from The Political Current · host Hunain Khan
In this episode we explore the provocative question: Is President Donald Trump pushing for regime change in Venezuela — and where else is he intervening in Latin America? We unpack the U.S. deployment of warships near Venezuelan waters, the strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats tied to the Tren de Aragua gang, and the broader geopolitical calculus behind Washington’s rising pressure in the Caribbean and beyond.We evaluate Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s claims of a U.S. “fabricated eternal war,” the lack of clear evidence for U.S. drug-trafficking allegations, and the significance of Latin America within the “America First” agenda. Additionally, we survey Trump’s involvement in Brazil, India, Israel and Argentina — illustrating how foreign-policy interference has become a core feature of his second term.Whether you’re interested in U.S. international strategy, Latin American politics or trending foreign-policy stories, this episode delivers context, analysis and expert insight. Listen till the end for what this means for the hemisphere and for U.S. domestic politics — and hit follow for more daily breakdowns of world affairs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-political-current--6768289/support.
