In the days since deposing Nicolás Maduro, President Trump has
given several justifications for his dramatic actions in
Venezuela. But perhaps most central to his ambitions is opening
Venezuela’s oil fields to American companies.

Anatoly Kurmanaev, who covers Venezuela, explains the history
behind Mr. Trump’s claims of ownership and what it would really
take to get the oil back.

Guest: Anatoly Kurmanaev, a reporter for The New
York Times who covers Venezuela.

Background reading:
