Trump's oil "deal" and gunboat diplomacy | Sources & Methods

The U.S. military is now in the oil business and once again targeting what it says are "narco terrorist" drug boats. What is the Trump administration trying to achieve in the Western Hemisphere?

In this episode of NPR's national security podcast Sources & Methods, guest host Scott Detrow, national security correspondent Greg Myre and international reporter John Otis break down how the Trump administration's "Donroe Doctrine" is playing out. They also unpack parallels between the Iran war and the post-9/11 conflicts that eventually became quagmires.
