in the region expect Trump and the US to be even less popular than Maduro after this bonehead move. I would guess that leaders of other countries in the area will be thinking that if Trump is willing to kidnap the leader of a neighboring nation why would we be any safer. They'll increase their defense spending and preparedness accordingly as they should. Trump is insane.
