Tiempo with Joe TorresEscalating geopolitical tensions between the US and VenezuelaOn this edition of Tiempo, we take a closer look at the escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela.
The U.S. launched Operation Southern Spear -- a major military campaign to try and dismantle drug trafficking networks. It also began a naval mission to intercept tankers transporting Venezuelan oil.
Anxious uncertainty hangs over many Venezuelan Americans as they watch the escalation of force against their home country. More than 6.8 million Venezuelans have fled the country since 2014, and the exodus continues.
