'No basis in reality': Nobel Prize winner calls Trump's new deal 'unrealistic fantasy'

Donald Trump's hopes for the future of Venezuela have been ridiculed by a Nobel Prize winner who called the vision an "unrealistic fantasy".

Economist Paul Krugman dismissed Trump's projection for Venezuela following strikes on the country by the US and capturing of President Nicolás Maduro. Writing in his Substack, the Nobel Prize winner suggested the "lucrative prize" Trump is holding out for in Venezuela is not as easy to achieve as the president is making it out to be.
