Marco Rubio Seemingly Attacks Biden-Era $25 Million Bounty on Maduro: 'No One Takes That Seriously'

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has delivered a critique on how the Biden administration previously handled a $25 million (£18.5 million) bounty on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Speaking with NBC News' Kristen Welker, Rubio dismissed the bounty as ineffective, drawing a stark comparison with the approach taken by President Donald Trump.

'Dating back in the Biden administration, they had a $25 million reward for his capture. So we have a reward for his capture, but we're not gonna enforce it? That's the difference between President Trump and everybody else,' he stated. 'It's easy to make a wanted poster and say $50 million (£37 million) for the capture of Maduro, but no one takes that seriously.'
