Trumponomics: What Trump's Venezuela Attack Means for the Global Economic Order
The US attack on Venezuela and its rendition of President Nicolás Maduro delivered one of the clearest signals yet of how President Donald Trump views power in a fractured global order. On this episode of Trumponomics, host Stephanie Flanders is joined by Javier Blas, a Bloomberg Opinion columnist and energy expert, and Chris Kennedy, CNAS Adjunct Senior Fellow and lead analyst for economic statecraft at Bloomberg Economics, to examine what Washington’s intervention means for oil markets, US foreign policy and the future of economic leverage.
Listen to the full interview on Bloomberg.
