LIVE NOW: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is under heavy scrutiny before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee over the Trump administration’s Venezuela strategy following the January 3 military operation that captured former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
Rubio is defending the controversial raid, insisting the U.S. is “not at war” but enforcing sanctions and law enforcement action, while warning that future force could be used to ensure cooperation from Venezuela’s interim leadership. Democrats and some Republicans are challenging the legality, cost, and long-term implications of the policy, including whether Congress was properly consulted.
