Rubio defends US ouster of Venezuela’s Maduro to Caribbean leaders unsettled by Trump policies
Rubio says Maduro’s removal has improved regional stability and U.S. seeks partnerships to address crime, energy, and economic issues in the Caribbean, officials stated.
- On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration's military operation that captured Nicolás Maduro to Caribbean leaders at the CARICOM summit in Basseterre and held one-on-one meetings with regional prime ministers.
- The U.S. had built up its largest Caribbean military presence in generations before the Jan. 3 raid that removed Nicolás Maduro, a historic turning point for Venezuela.
- Rubio told closed-door meetings that `Venezuela is better off today than it was eight weeks ago`, while Venezuela's interim authorities enacted an amnesty law and economic adjustments.
- CARICOM leaders raised objections to U.S. measures including deportee demands, warning impacts on migration, security and economic stability, with Terrance Drew saying the region `stands at a decisive hour`.
- Rubio said the U.S. will deepen cooperation on crime, economic opportunity and energy, warning transnational criminal organizations pose the biggest threat while the U.S. Treasury Department eased Venezuelan oil sales restrictions to Cuba.
