Trump Says The U.S. Will 'Run' Venezuela After Capturing Maduro

On the night of his inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order that froze almost all international assistance.

What followed was the termination of billions of dollars in aid programs — and the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Now, the future of U.S. foreign assistance looks very different. Our friends at Consider This from NPR take a look.

Welcome to the NPR Washington Desk

Last week, a federal appeals court ruled that private individuals and groups, like the ACLU or NAACP, can't sue under a key section of the Voting Rights Act. It's a decision that could reshape the political landscape, at a time when states across the country are already fighting over district lines. 

Plus, ballots themselves come under scrutiny in Mississippi and Pennsylvania, in two examples of how voting policy can affect election outcomes.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, voting correspondent Hansi Lo Wang, and political correspondent Ashley Lopez. 

This podcast was edited by Lexie Schapitl and Ben Swasey. It was produced by Lexie Schapitl and Jeongyoon Han. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
