Rubio to warn Venezuela leader of Maduro's fate if defiant

Marco Rubio warned Venezuela's acting president to comply with U.S. demands or face consequences; the U.S. captured Maduro and charged him with drug trafficking.

  • On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Delcy Rodríguez will suffer Nicolás Maduro's fate if she fails to comply.
  • On January 3, U.S. commandos raided Caracas and seized Nicolás Maduro, former Venezuelan president, and Cilia Flores, Maduro's wife, who were flown to New York on drug charges.
  • Rubio defended the raid, saying the operation arrested two narcotraffickers without the loss of a single American life and warned the U.S. is ready to use force if needed.
  • Facing congressional criticism, President Donald Trump has demanded Delcy Rodríguez advance U.S. oil companies' interests, while Democratic lawmakers accused the administration of deception, prompting Marco Rubio's testimony.
  • Since mid‑December, U.S. administration's oil policy shifted to Venezuela, touting 50 million barrels of oil, while Delcy Rodríguez said earlier this week Venezuela had `had enough` of interference amid unrest and over 100 deaths.
