Trump, oil and the fight for powerIn January 2026, Venezuela entered a deeply contested chapter after the US removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. While the operation was hailed by some as the end of a brutal dictatorship, critics argue it violated international law and replaced one crisis with another. US President Donald Trump now boasts of controlling Venezuela’s oil, as the country’s interim leadership strikes deals with Washington. Some call this a necessary transition. Opponents say it looks dangerously colonial. So, has Venezuela moved closer to democracy, and will Venezuela’s future be decided by Venezuelans or by the US? Mehdi Hasan goes head-to-head with Vanessa Neumann, who served as the Venezuelan opposition’s ambassador to the UK and Ireland. She defends Trump’s intervention and argues Maduro’s fall was long overdue. Joining the discussion are: Alejandro Velasco – Associate professor of history at New York University Estefanía Melendez – Former diplomatic envoy for the Venezuelan opposition and associate fellow at the Centre for the Study of Democracy Oscar Guardiola-Rivera – Professor of international law at Birkbeck College, University of Londonhttps://players.brightcove.net/665003303001/6tKQRAx7lu_default/index.html?videoId=639009016911230202026-02-27T19:58:19.411Zhttps://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2026/2/27/why-is-trump-objecting-to-al-malikis-comeback2026-02-27T22:35:45Zhttps://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-1772229061.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080Why is Trump objecting to Maliki's comeback? | Inside Story Iraq is in political deadlock. It still has no government, though general elections were held in November. At the heart of the crisis is the former prime minister, Nouri Al Maliki, who was picked by the majority coalition in parliament as its candidate to take over the role again. But that choice has been met with strong opposition from US President Donald Trump. And that warning has further polarised the political landscape in the country. So, what's really behind Washington's strong stance against Maliki? And what role does the US still play in Iraq? Presenter: James Bays Guests Muhanad Seloom, assistant professor of international politics at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. Ahmed Rushdi, president of the House of Iraqi Expertise Foundation, and a former foreign policy adviser in the Iraqi parliament. Kenneth Katzman, senior fellow at The Soufan Center.

He headlined the Super Bowl, singing in Spanish, challenging long-held ideas about what it means to be “mainstream”. His career highlights how streaming platforms, diaspora audiences, and shifting cultural power now determine global relevance. Bad Bunny has long used his music as an unapologetic political statement, including his stance against the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Our guests discuss the political and cultural tensions his rise has exposed.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the president cannot use emergency powers to impose them. It's a significant check on his power and a major setback to his second-term agenda. But despite the ruling, Trump has already found new ways to keep his trade barriers in place. Tariffs remain central to his economic policy, both to boost US manufacturing and generate revenue. The court may have disarmed one of Trump's trade weapons, but the turn towards protectionism is far from over.https://players.brightcove.net/665003303001/6tKQRAx7lu_default/index.html?videoId=639007938911216452026-02-27T17:21:55.836ZBusiness and EconomyDonald TrumpInternational TradePoliticsTrade Warhttps://www.aljazeera.com/video/the-take-2/2026/2/27/aje-onl-irn_genevatalks2026_av_v2-2602262026-02-27T15:48:00Zhttps://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-1772207255.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080Is the US negotiating with Iran or preparing to strike?Iran and the United States are heading into a third round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Geneva, while US military assets build up across the region.
