The Renew Democracy Initiative and The Next Move are excited to bring you Older/Wiser with Linda Chavez. Linda is a veteran of multiple presidential administrations, author, and columnist.
This week, Linda is joined by Elliott Abrams, senior fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Elliott served in multiple presidential administrations, most recently as United States Special Representative for Venezuela and Special Representative for Iran from 2019 to 2021.
With national attention on Iran, Linda and Elliott revisit Trump’s earlier intervention: Venezuela. What are the administration’s goals in Venezuela? Months later, are we seeing progress? What could the future of Latin America look like?
