Venezuela Update with Chris Shell

On this week's episode of Security Dilemma, A.J. Manuzzi and John Gay were joined again by Chris Shell, a Fellow at the American Statecraft Program of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Dr. Shell researches how American communities view foreign policy issues, as well as issues related to Latin America and the Caribbean. He is also an alum of the Society’s Strategic Leaders Fellowship, which is currently accepting applications through January 19th. In this program for mid-career foreign policy professionals, Strategic Leaders Fellows take part in private salon dinners with experts discussing topics like grand strategy, nuclear weapons, power projection, and European security, and participate in a day-long crisis simulation. The fellowship’s culmination is a trip to France and Belgium for an in-depth study of the First World War – its origins, conduct, and termination, and a closer look at the United States in the war. It’s a terrific, one of a kind program for any mid-career personnel interested in deepening their knowledge in grand strategy while connecting with likeminded professional peers. Again, the deadline is January 19. For today’s business, In this episode, we discussed U.S. Venezuela policy in light of the Trump Administration’s capture of Nicolas Maduro and the reaction in the Caribbean.
