Will Trump’s Anti-Asylum Rhetoric Cripple His Goal of Venezuelan Regime Change? President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela is scared, and rightfully so.

In this November-December substack post, I look at how Trump's anti-asylum policies are weakening his administration's ability to recruit foreign armed actors if the United States invades Venezuela. There will be more monthly IR substack pieces in 2026!

How does Tren de Aragua Respond to America’s Military Strikes? Eight years ago, I wrote an op-ed on how the (first) Trump Administration was considering whether or not to designate Mara Salvatrucha (commonly known as MS-13) a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

My analysis of the ways in which Tren de Aragua might respond to America's recent military strikes is available. Is this the start of a major shift in U.S. counter-terrorism operations? What are the potential impacts on U.S. security in Latin America?
