To take Venezuela's oil, Trump actually needs its democracy

President Donald Trump did what none of his predecessors would attempt. Nicolas Maduro is awaiting trial in a New York courtroom rather than ruling from Miraflores. That was the hard part, and the president deserves credit for it. The question now is whether what Washington builds after Maduro’s removal will still be standing 10 years from now.
