Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club
Trump and Venezuela:
Lawless Attacks in the Caribbean & Threats of Regime Change
Panel & Discussion
Tuesday, December 16, 6PM to 7PM on Zoom
The illegal sinking of Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean with the murder of those on board is combined with threats of regime change in Venezuela. Trump claims this is all justified as part of the "War on Drugs," but the underlying goal appears to be assertion of unchecked US power in the region.
The Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club Peace Committee is sponsoring an online forum on the politics and dangers of the Trump Administration's assault on Venezuela.
