Ben Swann ON: Trump Formally Recognizes New Venezuelan President




US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido has proclaimed himself “acting president” of Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro responded by accusing the US of orchestrating a coup against his government. Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins News.Views.Hughes to discuss Venezuela’s escalating political crisis, explaining that while Guaido’s claim to legitimacy is within the bounds of Venezuela’s constitution, the US record of undermining Maduro and Hugo Chavez before him throws Trump’s motives into question.
