US Plans CIA Presence in Post-Maduro Venezuela
The United States is making plans to have a permanent CIA presence in Venezuela after the current president, Nicolas Maduro, is removed from power.
This is because the country is going through big political changes and the security situation is not stable.
The State Department will be the main U.S. presence in the long term, but the CIA will help at first because of these changes.
This information comes from a report by CNN.
