Is the US seeking regime change in Venezuela?

---

If you weren’t able to catch my conversation with

Elliott Abrams

here is the recording. As the former US envoy to Venezuela during President Trump’s first administration, his perspective is essential viewing for anyone trying to understand the administration’s current approach to Venezuela and its president, Nicolás Maduro.

Lest you think recent US actions against Venezuela are simply about drug cartels, Elliott offered a wide-ranging assessment of the situation in the country, the administration’s broader regional strategy, and the US interests at stake—putting the recent military strikes and President Trump’s CIA directive in crucial context.

I’ll be writing more about Venezuela in the coming days, informed by Elliott’s thoughtful insights.

Thank you
