Venezuela Explained: Will Trump Invade Other Countries?

In this live conversation, The Long Game hosts Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer join Joyce Vance to examine what comes next in Venezuela following the weekend strikes and the arrest of President Maduro. They discuss allies’ reactions, the limits of U.S. leverage, and how countries like China and Mexico may be interpreting recent events in light of broader questions about power and precedent. They also assess the operation itself, while exploring the administration’s choice to frame it as a law-enforcement action. Much remains uncertain, including who will actually govern and run the country going forward. This conversation offers a preview of the issues Jake and Jon will explore further in the next episode of The Long Game.
