Niall Ferguson: Trump Was Right to Overthrow Maduro

The podcast features an interview with Niall Ferguson, a Free Press columnist, who discusses the recent intervention in Venezuela and its historical context. Ferguson supports the action, viewing it as a correction to the failed policies of leftist governments in Latin America and a revival of the Roosevelt corollary. He contrasts the intervention with the New York Times' critical stance and highlights the potential economic benefits for the U.S., drawing parallels to 19th-century foreign policy. The conversation extends to the broader geopolitical implications, including China's investments in Venezuelan oil and the potential for similar actions against Iran. Ferguson also touches on the rising tensions with China over Taiwan and the long-term challenges to U.S. dominance due to its national debt.
