After Trump’s illegal Venezuela coup, there are two dangers: he is emboldened, but has no clue what comes next | Rajan Menon

Donald Trump has used largely fictitious charges to seize control of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. His actions, including support for Israel's actions in Gaza and bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, indicate a willingness to engage in military interventions, despite his previous pledges to end "forever wars" and focus on the US economy. Rajan Menon, a professor emeritus of international relations at the City College of New York, notes that Trump may be emboldened by these actions but lacks clarity on the potential reactions from Venezuelans and the implications for Iran.
