But President Trump’s actions in Venezuela seemingly support an attempt to alter the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere. The CSIS Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department invites you to a special episode of State of Play on the lessons these states are learning from Maduro’s capture and what it means for their interests going forward. The discussion will feature Dr. Ryan Berg, Henrietta Levin, Dr. Vali Nasr, Dr. Maria Snegovaya, and Will Todman. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/state-of-play-7362368/episodes/the-donroe-doctrine-what-venezuela-means-for-china-russia-and-iran/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/state-of-play-7362368/the-donroe-doctrine-what-venezuela-means-for-china-russia-and-iran.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
