Are we going to invade Venezuela?

President Trump is sending warships to Venezuela and bombing so-called drug boats off the coast. His aggression toward Venezuela smells a lot like the beginnings of a war. But it may just be a way to expand presidential power. This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Adriene Lilly and Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Astead Herndon. Boats off the coast of Venezuela are being targeted by the US. (Photo by Federico PARRA / AFP) Listen to Today, Explained ad-free by becoming a Vox Member: vox.com/members.
