Trump's War on Venezuela w/ Dr. Rodrigo Acuña (G&R 429)

In recent weeks, the U.S. has bombed multiple alleged Venezuelan “drug boats” at sea, killing at least 21 people without providing any clear evidence that they were involved in drug trafficking or linked to the government in Caracas. The U.S. has also increased its military footprint in the Caribbean and placed a $50 million bounty on President Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest for narcotrafficking. This is part of the Trump administration's plan to destablize Venezuela and dominate the region. In our latest, we talk with Dr. Rodrigo Acuña about Trump's war on Venezuela. We also discuss his new film "Venezuela:The Cost of Challenging Empire."Bio//Rodrigo Acuña (@rodrigoac7) works as an independent journalist on Latin America and for the NSW Department of Education.
