Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been advocated for the use of U.S. military force against Venezuela for years, records compiled by The Associated Press show.
Concretely, the outlet noted that in a 2018 interview with Univision Rubio, back then a Republican senator, said he thought "U.S. armed forces should only be used in cases of national security threats," and "there is a strong argument that can be made right now that Venezuela and Maduro's regime have become a threat to the region and the U.S."
