Ambassador (ret.) James Story, WACC's upcoming speaker for November 18, was interviewed on 60 Minutes on 10/26/25 about Nicolas Maduro's Venezuela.

Venezuela sits on top of the world's largest known reserves of oil, as well as possessing critical minerals needed to fuel the energy economy.

The Trump administration has recently escalated its military campaign against Venezuela, attacking vessels carrying alleged Venezuelan drug smugglers and sending the world's largest aircraft carrier to the region.

Amb. Story was the last American diplomat at the now-closed U.S. Embassy in Caracas. Click here to watch the 13-minute interview.
