What’s next for Venezuela?
Description
The Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores are due to appear in a federal Manhattan court on Monday, after the United States captured them in a military operation in Venezuela.
President Trump says the US will run Venezuela “until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition”. But Maduro’s allies – including its new interim president – remain in charge.
We speak to Ione Wells, the BBC’s South America correspondent, about what might happen in the coming weeks and months.
