US imperialism and Latin America: Trump threatens war on Venezuela

US imperialism and Latin America: Trump threatens war on Venezuela

Over the last few weeks, Trump has been brazenly ratcheting up tensions with Venezuela. Having declared its president, Maduro, the leader of a drug cartel, he has moved a tenth of America’s navy and B-52 bombers to menace the country. Hot off making ‘peace’ in Gaza, Trump seems to be headed straight towards a new war.


Will the US go to war in Venezuela? What is the Trump administration seeking? And what would be the implications of such an adventure for South America?


To answer these questions Jorge Martín and Hamid Alizadeh sat down for another episode of Against the Stream, the Marxist current affairs podcast of the Revolutionary Communist International.
