In a Perry World House conversation, ‘Venezuela and U.S. Policy After Maduro,’ international affairs experts shared insights into oil, the Venezuelan economy, and what to expect next in the region.
The United States’ deposition of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro after a military incursion removed the authoritarian leader but has also left many questions remaining about U.S. goals for the country.
A Perry World House (PWH) panel brought together three experts to share insights into the outlook for the oil industry, the inner workings of Venezuela’s politics and economy, and the global impact of U.S. actions.
The panel featured:
- Samantha Vinograd, leader of Brunswick’s U.S. geopolitical practice, former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, and a PWH distinguished visiting fellow
- Robert M. Scher, a non-resident PWH senior advisor and former head of international affairs for BP America Inc., who also served as assistant secretary of defense
- Carolina Jiménez Sandoval, originally from Venezuela and PWH’s Thakore Visiting Fellow who is president of the Washington Office on Latin America
It was moderated by Michael C. Horowitz, faculty director at Perry World House, Richard Perry Professor, and former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense.
