The World has been covering the situation in Venezuela for a while now. Depending on who you ask, there are still two presidents — Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó. There’s also a persistent standoff about international aid. Host Carol Hills speaks with Oliver Stuenkel about what’s next for the Latin American country. Stuenkel is a professor of international relations at the Vargas Foundation in Brazil. He’s been following the situation in Caracas closely.
