The arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, on Saturday,
sent shockwaves across the globe. And although the targeted
military operation was a success, the repercussions of ousting the
authoritarian leader will be long-lasting and hard to
predict. To make sense of the new world order ushered in by
President Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine,” we convened a panel of
experts: an oil industry specialist, a national security
journalist, and an historian of Venezuela. Luisa Palacios is the
managing director of energy transition finance at the Center on
Global Energy Policy and the former chairwoman of the Citgo
Petroleum Corporation. David Sanger is the White House and national
security correspondent for The New York Times. He’s played central
roles on three teams that have won Pulitzer Prizes, and he’s the
author of four books, including his latest, “New Cold Wars: China’s
Rise, Russia’s Invasion and America’s Struggle to Defend the West.”
Alejandro Velasco is a historian, a professor at New York
University, the former executive editor of the NACLA Report on the
Americas, and the author of “Barrio Rising: Urban Popular Politics
and the Making of Modern Venezuela.” Together, they unpack the
Trump administration’s competing rationales for deposing Maduro;
the feasibility of controlling Venezuela without American boots on
the ground; how a “regime change” that doesn't change will affect
the Venezuelan people; and the global implications for America’s
credibility. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or
