Venezuelans face uncertainty while awaiting next U.S. moves

Season 2026 Episode 4 | 4m 30s

The world’s eyes are on Venezuela one day after the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Maduro and brought him to the U.S. on drug trafficking charges. Profound questions remain after Trump’s repeated statements that the U.S. will “run” Venezuela, while Rubio on Sunday described a more indirect but intense pressure campaign. Feature Story News reporter Mary Triny Mena reports from Caracas.
