Harry Cole and Triggernometry's Francis Foster discuss the political and social situation in Venezuela post-Maduro's arrest. Francis highlights the decline of Venezuela from a major oil producer to a country with nine million people displaced, comparing its quality of life to Syria's. Francis also says that Nicolás Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, is even more hated than the now deposed dictator is and was 'probably the brains behind the operation'. Francis suggests Venezuela is the 'motherload' of natural resources, that could make Americans a lot of money if they exploit it, but also adding it was in President Trump's interests to have a stable Venezuela.
