华体会 will host a discussion on the crisis in Venezuela and the future of the Latin America. The panel will be introduced by the director of 华体会鈥檚 Center for Latin American Studies, Ambassador Jaime Daremblum, followed by an expert panel moderated by 华体会 senior fellow Lee Smith.

The Trump White House has won bipartisan support and multilateral backing abroad for its recent Venezuela policy. While issuing unequivocal demands that President Nicol谩s Maduro step down and recognize national assembly leader and interim President Juan Guaid贸, the administration has sent humanitarian assistance through the Colombian border to provide assistance to those in the region affected by the crisis.

However, many fear that skirmishes between pro-Maduro forces and the opposition may be a harbinger of worse to come. Some wonder if Venezuela is on the brink of civil war. If so, a political crisis in one of the Western hemisphere鈥檚 major energy producers will likely reverberate throughout the Americas and world markets. Decades of socialist policies designed to enrich corrupt 鈥渂oligarchs鈥� have impoverished the country while uprooting its political processes and tearing at its social fabric.
