When a U.S. president treats the world like his personal business empire, the consequences can be catastrophic.

Eva Golinger, lawyer and strategic advisor to former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, exposes how Trump’s audacious removal of Nicolás Maduro was all about ego - granting him power, headlines, and unfettered access to Venezuela’s resources.

Working at the forefront of Latin American anti-imperialism for decades, Gollinger - nicknamed “the bride of Venezuela” by Chavez himself - highlights how in Trump 2.0, it’s all about the optics.

From the violent seizure of Maduro to the installation of a compliant leader under Delcy Rodríguez, Golinger warns this chapter of U.S. interventionism could embolden strongmen everywhere - and rewrite the rules of international law entirely.

⚡ Trump and Venezuela — short-term obsession or long‑term US policy?

⚡ The myth of Maduro’s “narco-terrorism”

⚡ How Maduro’s kidnapping sets a new global precedent

⚡ Who is Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez?

⚡ Oil, gold, and rare earth minerals — Trump’s real objectives

“He has branded his name on everything…that's how he sees the presidency - as a business.”
