Venezuela's Maduro begins second term amidst an economic crisis

Nicolas Maduro has been sworn in for a second term as Venezuela’s president amidst an economic crisis. In what used to be Latin America's wealthiest country, inflation has soared, clean water and electricity are in short supply and millions of residents have fled their homes. As Nick Schifrin reports, the U.S. has condemned Maduro as a "stooge" of socialism and imposed sanctions against him.
