Trump aims to stabilize Venezuela post-Maduro; challenges include oil management, internal conflict, and military implications.

Following Nicolás Maduro’s ousting, President Trump is taking bold steps to establish a stable interim government in Venezuela. The move comes amid rising concerns over potential unrest from Maduro’s allies and the challenge of steering the country toward stability. Experts warn that the situation could have wide-reaching implications for both Venezuela and U.S. foreign policy.

We speak with Oz Sultan from Sultan Interactive Group about the challenges facing the Trump administration, including stabilising Venezuela’s oil industry and managing internal conflict risks. Key figures like Edmundo Gonzalez and María Corina Machado are expected to play crucial roles in the country’s transition, but their influence and the response from Maduro’s allies could significantly shape the outcome.

The conversation also explores the risks of U.S. military involvement, the lack of a detailed transition plan, and the broader implications for international relations. As Washington charts its path forward, the stakes for U.S. foreign policy and Venezuelan stability have never been higher.

Middle East conflict escalates post U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, affecting regional security and global energy markets.

A major conflict has erupted in the Middle East after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, sparking retaliation and raising regional tensions. Civilians face humanitarian and economic hardships as Gulf countries scramble to secure critical infrastructure and trade routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.

Hezbollah and other regional actors are adding complexity to the crisis, while incidents like the mistaken downing of U.S. jets by Kuwaiti defences have heightened fears of accidental escalation.

Global energy markets are already feeling the strain, with oil prices fluctuating amid growing uncertainty.

Oz Sultan from Sultan Interactive Group explains the conflict’s impact on regional security and the global economy, and what steps could help de-escalate tensions.
