As opposition leaders and the Venezuelan public struggle to protect their constitutional rights, insecurity along with continued scarcity of food and basic goods are prompting many to flee the country. The deteriorating situation in Venezuela could become one of the Trump administration’s first major foreign policy crises. Americas Society/Council of the Americas and the American Enterprise Institute will hold a discussion on challenges and opportunities for recovery and democratic restoration in Venezuela.
