Rubio Outlines Three-Phase Plan for Venezuela

On Jan. 7, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio detailed a three-phase U.S. plan of stabilization, recovery and transition for Venezuela after classified briefings on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
U.S. forces carried out a weekend raid that captured Nicolas Maduro using about 150 aircraft and helicopters, and midweek operations seized a Russian-flagged tanker, Rubio said, adding "We don't want it descending into chaos."
Rubio described a Venezuelan oil 'quarantine' as the mechanism for U.S. leverage, with plans to appropriate and sell 30 million to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil to benefit the people.
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has been installed, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, `The interim authorities have agreed to release that oil to the US, so it will arrive in our country very soon.`
The plan sidelines the democratic opposition led by María Corina Machado in favor of negotiating with Chavista interim figures, while officials offered no timeline for elections and Rubio said the outcome rests with Venezuelans amid insolvency risks.
