James B. Story

House Democrats are calling for an investigation into Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.'s former fiance, saying Congress must conduct oversight to understand how this happened and to hold the administration accountable.

We want to bring in U.S. ambassador, former U.S. ambassador to Venezuela, MSNOW international analyst James Story.

Mr.

Ambassador, in your new op-ed for MSNOW, you say resigning as it relates to Guilfoyle is not enough.

As you write, the results of this amateur diplomacy will be felt for years.

We're just in the opening stages of this.

Ambassador James Story, thanks for sharing your perspective and your expertise.

Appreciate

Welcome back to Armchair Diplomat.

We're honored to have Ambassador James Story, Jimmy to his friends, the last US ambassador to Venezuela, here with us, helping us, uh, uh, unwrap US diplomacy to Venezuela today.

Ambassador, I'd like to, um, yeah, ask you to, to reflect a little bit.

We're gonna go back a few years, and, um, because I think it's hard for folks to wrap their head around, you know, eight and a half million, uh, Venezuelans.

And he also brings a lot of knowledge about both Cuba and Venezuela, particularly in the area of elites and the military, both in Cuba and Venezuela.

And finally, we have Ambassador James Story, which was the last diplomatic representative of the United States in Venezuela before all diplomatic...

Last ambassador to Venezuela.

Yeah,

So hopefully we are going to get, you know, a lot of understanding of Colombia.

not only what has been the role of Iran in Colombia, but potentially, you know, elsewhere in Latin America.

And again, we are going to have Ambassador James Story, which in the past weeks and months have been traveling the region of Latin America and has a pretty good idea of particularly what has been the impact of China and Latin America and still what are the sort of things that China wants and what is the strategy of China and Latin America, even with an increasing presence of the United States in the region.

We've mentioned Colombia now a couple times, and I note that in the news recently I saw Secretary of State Rubio is currently visiting on a trip to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
