Rubio defended the January 3 military operation as removing a major security threat and said oil-sale proceeds will fund Venezuelan basic services under U.S. Treasury oversight.

- Rubio sought to reassure lawmakers that `we are not postured to nor do we intend or expect to have to take any military action in Venezuela at any time`, amid sharp partisan divisions over broader foreign policies, including Greenland, NATO, Iran, and China.
- Looking to the coming months, Rubio expects progress in Venezuela over three, six and nine months, citing improvements compared to four weeks ago.
