Secretary of State Marco Rubio walked back U.S. military threats in Venezuela in his testimony to senators about the Trump administration’s next steps in the country after the capture of its longtime leader Nicolas Maduro.
In prepared remarks to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday, Rubio said the U.S. is “prepared to use force to ensure maximum cooperation if other methods fail,” adding that the administration will “never shy away from our duty to the American people and our mission in this hemisphere.”
