Trump’s Standoff with Venezuela; Potential for Peace in Ukraine

Today on the show, tensions between the US and Venezuela are reaching a boiling point, as President Donald Trump warned that US strikes on land targets in Venezuela could come "very soon." Fareed speaks with two former top officials on Venezuela: former US ambassador to Venezuela James Story, and former special representative for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams about what’s likely to happen next, and the potential fallout if Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is ousted.Then, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week about the war in Ukraine for a lengthy five hours session — and in the end, there's still no peace deal. Fareed is joined by Ukrainian journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk for a conversation about what Ukrainians make of the impasse, allegations of corruption in that country, and Witkoff’s relationships with the Russians. Finally, the Trump administration intensified its immigration crackdown after last week’s attack in Washington that left one National Guard member dead and another critically injured. The shooter was an Afghan national who had worked with the CIA and had come to the US in 2021 through a visa program designed to resettle vulnerable Afghans in the wake of the US withdrawal. Fareed talks with The New York Times’ Thomas Gibbons-Neff—a former Kabul bureau chief who had twice deployed to Afghanistan as a US Marine—about the role Afghan allies played in America’s war, and the challenges of resettlement. GUESTS: Elliott Abrams, James Story, Nataliya Gumenyuk (@ngumenyuk), Thomas Gibbons-Neff (@Tmgneff) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
