Recent developments following the United States’ military involvement in Venezuela have raised profound concerns about regional stability, international law and the future of political autonomy in Latin America. The use of force on sovereign Venezuelan territory, including air strikes and the capture of a head of state, represents a significant escalation that exceeds established norms of international coexistence and reintroduces coercive practices in a region that has long sought to consolidate itself as a zone of peace. Against this backdrop, the event seeks to gather insights and key perspectives on the political, strategic, and security implications of the Venezuela crisis and the broader Trump Corollary for Latin America. Particular attention will be given to the prospects for renewed regional integration as a necessary condition to contain interventionist dynamics, strengthen diplomatic coordination, and reassert Latin America’s role as an autonomous actor in an increasingly fragmented and competitive international system.
