The recent military operation to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores raises several implications for the future of Venezuela and Latin America, geopolitics, and energy markets. Cosponsored by SIPA’s Institute of Global Politics (IGP) and Center for Global Energy Policy (CGEP), along with Columbia’s Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS), this webinar will analyze the circumstances and impact of their capture and extradition to New York to face narcoterrorism and drug trafficking charges.
