The rare doublet earthquake in Venezuela was one of the most
powerful tectonic events to strike the country in the past
century, and the death toll was virtually certain to rise as
rescuers began to reach hard-hit areas and remote hillside towns.

Carlos Prieto, a producer on “The Daily,” speaks to Venezuelans
about how they’ve united after the disaster. Then, Anatoly
Kurmanaev, a New York Times correspondent in Venezuela, discusses
how the aftermath of the tragedy has forced the Trump
administration to shift its plans.

Guest:

Carlos Prieto, an audio producer for “The
Daily.”

Anatoly Kurmanaev, a reporter for The New York
Times, currently covering Venezuela.
