Trump escalates Venezuela confrontation with oil blockade

Episode 351 | 8m 57s

President Trump continued his rhetorical campaign against Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, as a large American Naval force sits in the waters off the coast. The U.S. will actively blockade and seize vessels it had already sanctioned, a move some critics have called an act of war. Nick Schifrin reports and Geoff Bennett discusses the latest with David Smilde.
