Venezuela Crisis News | Marco Rubio Says US' Action On Venezuela Did Not Require Congressional Approval

Venezuela Crisis News | Marco Rubio Says US' Action Venezuela Did Not Require Congressional Approval US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he expects to see "changes of all kinds" in Venezuela after deposed leader Nicolás Maduro arrived in the U.S. to face criminal charges following his capture in a nighttime military operation. When asked if Rubio would work with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, he said on NBC News' Meet the Press that he's focused on "short-term" issues and added that "the vast majority of the opposition is no longer present inside of Venezuela." The dramatic action capped an intensive Trump administration pressure campaign on Venezuela's autocratic leader and months of secret planning, resulting in the most assertive American action to achieve regime change since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
