Foreign Correspondent: Trump's Venezuelan Oil Grab
When US President Donald Trump sent American troops to capture Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and his wife, it quickly became clear the country's vast oil reserves were a major part of the strategy. Venezuela used to be one of the richest countries in the world, but decades of mismanagement damaged its oil industry and left most of the population living in poverty.
Now the US is effectively running the Venezuelan economy and is focused on reviving the country's oil industry. But who will be the beneficiaries?
On Foreign Correspondent, London-based Venezuelan journalist Sandra Gathmann has teamed up with a local Venezuelan crew to document how Venezuelans are reacting to these unprecedented events. Sandra also examines whether Donald Trump can deliver on his oil promise, who stands to gain, and what role Venezuela will play at a time of global oil turmoil.
