YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Mike Baker speaks with NTD TV correspondent and Venezuela analyst Luis Martinez about the dramatic political transition underway in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro. With President Trump meeting opposition leader María Corina Machado at the White House—but backing interim president Delcy Rodríguez as the de-facto leader—Martinez breaks down why Maduro’s former vice-president may have negotiated the coup, what it means for U.S.–Venezuela relations, and how the struggle between rival political factions could shape the country’s future.
