Secretary of State Marco Rubio has discussed how toppling Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro could lead to the end of the Cuban regime, according to a new report.
The New York Times detailed that Rubio has hinted at the idea, saying in 2019 that a weakened Cuba would be a welcomed "byproduct" should the Venezuelan regime fall. "Anything that's bad for a communist dictatorship is something I support," he told NPR back then.
