The unexpected removal of Nicolás Maduro from power by the Trump Administration in Operation Absolute Resolve was a dramatic escalation in a long-running international conflict, thrusting Venezuela into a period of profound uncertainty with wide-ranging implications for energy markets, regional stability, and broader U.S. foreign policy.

Join University of Chicago Professors Christopher Blattman, Ryan Kellogg, and Paul Poast for a wide-ranging discussion on how we got here, the security landscape, global energy and oil prices, and the strategic choices now facing the United States.

The panel will be moderated by Senior Lecturer Rebecca Wolfe.
