Ex-ambassador: Blockade could have chilling effect on Maduro

Season 2025 Episode 352 | 6m 06s

For weeks, the Trump administration has been escalating pressure on Venezuela and the government of Nicolás Maduro. Wednesday night, we heard from a critic of the approach. For a different perspective, Geoff Bennett spoke with Jimmy Story. He spent 25 years in the U.S. State Department and most recently served as the top U.S. diplomat to Venezuela.
