At this point, it’s hardly controversial to call President Donald Trump a bully.
Last week, that penchant for bullying carried over into his foreign policy in a major way when the US capped off a monthslong campaign against Venezuela by capturing its president. Emma Ashford, a columnist for the magazine Foreign Policy, told my colleagues at More To The Story that this action was a big display of force.
“If the US can do this in Venezuela, the administration has been quite explicit that they can do it elsewhere in the region if they don't receive cooperation from the Mexicans or the Colombians or others,” Ashford said.
What now, now that Nicolás Maduro is out of power and the US is running Venezuela? Will the administration set its sights on other countries?
On this week’s More To The Story, host Al Letson sits down with Ashford to examine the implications of Maduro’s ouster, how she defines what Trump is now calling the “Donroe Doctrine,” and what the US’s latest actions could mean for the region and the world.
