US Enforces ‘Western Hemisphere’ Control: Maduro Faces Judge Hellerstein | Venezuela | Rohit Sharma
In this Special Report, India Today’s Washington D.C. Correspondent Rohit Sharma details the historic extraction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to the United States. Sharma reports on the Trump administration’s enforcement of the ‘Monroe Doctrine,’ with Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserting the Western Hemisphere ‘is ours’ and that there is ‘no room for anybody else.’ The broadcast highlights the geopolitical fallout at the UN Security Council, where China and Russia have registered opposition, while the US maintains this was a legal operation against a drug trafficker. Sharma also tracks the developments in Manhattan, where Maduro is set to appear before Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a Clinton appointee. The report underscores the US warning that it will work with whoever remains in Venezuela only if they follow the Washington line.
