Democrats ridiculed the Trump administration’s plans for the future of Venezuela after leaving an all-senators briefing on the Hill hosted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Wednesday.

In several interviews, Rubio was noncommittal over who the administration views as Venezuela’s legitimate ruler or the timeframe in which the U.S. expects elections to be held.
