Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin said the Trump administration gave Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro the "chance to leave" the country as its pressure campaign continues to escalate.
"We told him he could go to Russia or another country," Mullin told CNN's State of the Union. "The Venezuelan people have spoken and expressed their desire for a new leader," Mullin added, in reference to last year's elections in which the regime claimed victory despite not showing supporting documentation.
