‘No Legal Justification’ For Venezuela Raid Says Christopher Sabatini

President Donald Trump said the US needs “total access” to Venezuela as questions mount about the country’s leadership following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.Trump said the US will work with acting President Delcy Rodríguez but said he hadn’t spoken to her. “We’re in charge,” he said. On elections in the short term, he said, “Well, it depends,” before adding, “We have to do one thing in Venezuela — bring it back.” Trump’s assertion that the US was in charge in Venezuela came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on a series of Sunday television shows that the US was focusing on the oil industry and watching for signs of opposition to US policies in Rodriguez’s government. Christopher Sabatini, Senior Research Fellow for Latin America, the US and North America at Chatham House joined Caroline Hepker and Lizzy Burden to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
