Venezuelan embassy in US seized, activists arrested

Armed police have entered the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC and arrested the remaining anti-interventionist activists. RT's Rachel Blevins reports from the scene. US President Donald Trump declared a national emergency over Chinese tech giant Huawei, which he has deemed a national security threat. His new executive order makes it more difficult for US companies to do business with the Chinese tech giant. RT America’s Manila Chan chats with investigative journalist Ben Swann, who says no evidence exists for the Trump administration’s claim. President Trump is reportedly frustrated with hawkish figures around him, including National Security Advisor John Bolton. RT’s Dan Cohen has the latest. Reports that Trump is interested in a diplomatic approach to resolving tensions with Iran come after the US escalated the situation by sending military personnel to the Persian Gulf. RT America’s Manila Chan sits down with former Pentagon official Michael Maloof to discuss this pivot, plus recent deadly Saudi and UAE airstrikes on Yemen. Maloof also discusses French human rights activists blocking a Saudi ship from loading French arms that they say are being used in Yemen.
