During his press conference after the US invasion, Trump said: “We’re ready to go again if we have to.” That warning is not just for Venezuela. Trump and his administration have also threatened many of Venezuela’s neighbors. This is episode 3 of Under the Shadow, Season 2.
Thousands have marched against Trump’s invasion of Venezuela. And leaders are leading the charge against US intervention in the region, in some unexpected places. But Trump is now also pointing elsewhere in the region. Cuba, Colombia and Mexico are in his sights.
Today, host Michael Fox looks at the response around the world to Trump’s invasion of Venezuela. He also takes a deep dive into Trump’s threats elsewhere across the region, and introduces you to some of the leaders and the people standing up to Trump both inside the United States and far beyond.
Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration’s onslaught in Latin America.
