Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s prospects of becoming the next president of the United States have more than doubled in response to Saturday’s dramatic events in Venezuela, which saw the U.S. military topple dictator Nicolas Maduro.
After months of tensions with the South American oil state, missile blasts were heard over Caracas in the early hours of Saturday morning as American forces swooped into the capital and captured Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, subsequently removing them to New York to answer to drugs and weapons charges.
