4:54Now PlayingAs questions grow about why the US attacked Venezuela, historian Allan Lichtman breaks down the real reason behind Trump’s escalating confrontation with Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
While Donald Trump claims the crackdown is about drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, this clip exposes a major contradiction: Trump has pardoned dozens of convicted drug traffickers while targeting Venezuela on moral grounds.
So why is the US attacking Venezuela now? According to Lichtman, the answer is simple — oil. From Trump’s own press conference comments to America’s long history of regime-change interventions, this analysis explains what’s really driving the latest Trump Venezuela news and US–Venezuela tensions.
