Trump ‘turns up the dial’ on Maduro, aiming to force him out of office: Analysis
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
Charles Samuel Shapiro, former ambassador to Venezuela and current professor of international relations at Georgia Tech, says Trump aims to dial up pressure on Maduro and force him out of the country. “What this does is it turns up the dial, turns up the pressure on Maduro,” Shapiro told Al Jazeera. “And clearly what the United States President Trump wants is for Maduro to leave office, and that would mean he’d have to leave the country.” Shapiro said it’s unclear what the US endgame actually is. “Trump is increasing the pressure. Will it go to military action? I can’t answer that, and I suspect that’s why the US Southern Command and Defense Department are referring all questions to the White House.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #BreakingNews #Venezuela #Trump #USVenezuelaTensions #AirspaceClosure #VenezuelanCrisis #Caracas #USPolitics #VenezuelaNews #AlJazeeraEnglish
