For months, President Trump has been ratcheting up the pressure
on Venezuela with increasingly aggressive military actions that
the administration claims are about targeting drug traffickers.

But behind the scenes, some U.S. officials are pushing toward a
regime change.

Anatoly Kurmanaev, who has been covering the story, discusses the
battle in the White House over whether to topple the government
of President Nicolás Maduro.

Guest: Anatoly Kurmanaev, a reporter for The New
York Times covering Russia and its transformation since the
invasion of Ukraine.
