Assessing US Intentions in Venezuela
Amanpour
Jan 6, 2026

Fresh instability is unfolding in Venezuela, after reports of overnight gunfire near the presidential palace in Caracas. With Nicolás Maduro now in US custody, his allies are moving swiftly to consolidate power at home, even as Washington insists it is shaping the transition. Independent US Senator Angus King joins Bianna Golodryga to discuss what he believes the Trump administration’s intentions are, and how far those efforts have gone so far. 

Also on today's show: Former NSC Senior Director for Western Hemisphere Juan Gonzalez; Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Oleksandr Merezhko; Professor of Philosophy, University of Toronto Jason Stanley
