Trump's World: Maduro's Caracas, Sinking Polls, and Human Rights on the Brink

US Involvement in Venezuela Sparks Debate Over Global Order

One month after U.S. forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Caracas was settling into an uneasy normal, marked by major changes and lingering questions about the future, according to NPR Politics on February 1, 2026. The action in Venezuela was part of a broader series of global moves by the Trump administration that were sparking debate about the future of the international order.

President Donald Trump, despite promises of focusing on "America First," had global aspirations, according to Vox on February 1, 2026. Recent weeks saw U.S. action in Venezuela, threats to Greenland, Europe, and Iran, and Trump's open solicitation of a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump's latest global push was the creation of the Board of Peace, a new body with a billion-dollar lifetime membership fee, labeled as a minor bid to replace the United Nations, according to Vox.

The Trump administration's actions were taking place against a backdrop of increasing strain on the established international system. Time reported that the rules-based order that helped make human rights enforceable was fraying under relentless pressure from President Trump's administration, and long undermined by China and Russia. The article questioned whether human rights could survive without the rules that established them, suggesting that a new, durable human rights alliance was needed to defend core norms.

Meanwhile, President Trump's domestic approval ratings were declining. Vox reported on January 31, 2026, that Trump's polls were tanking, raising questions about the views of his base. The article featured an interview with a "MAGA diehard" to gauge the sentiments of Trump's supporters.

Also on January 31, 2026, Vox addressed the controversy surrounding a video of Alex Pretti, who was killed by Border Patrol agents. The video showed Pretti kicking out the taillight of an ICE vehicle 11 days before the shooting. Right-wing influencers were using the video to justify the shooting, but the article argued that the video was irrelevant to the circumstances of Pretti's death.

The events in Venezuela and the broader shifts in U.S. foreign policy were raising fundamental questions about the future of international relations and the role of the United States in the world.

Shutdown Drags On as Protests, Violence, and Policy Battles Erupt

Multiple news sources report that a partial government shutdown began after funding for several federal agencies lapsed, despite the Senate passing a bipartisan funding package that includes extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks to allow further immigration enforcement talks. The House Rules Committee will consider the Senate-passed package on Monday, but its passage is uncertain due to potential opposition from conservatives, although there is little desire in Washington for a prolonged shutdown.
