Venezuela and U.S. Policy After Maduro

Event Date: 13th January 2026
Location: Online, 5 pm GMT

Following the U.S. strikes in Caracas and subsequent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, there are many questions that remain. What will governance in Venezuela look like in the short- and long-term, and how will that affect Venezuelan citizens? How will these U.S. actions affect foreign policy, particularly in the Western Hemisphere? How will access to Venezuelan oil affect global energy markets and prices? And what will be the long-term ramifications in the global arena to how the United States has moved forward in Venezuela? Join Perry World House for an in-depth discussion of these topics and more.
