“Everything President Trump does is with the American people in mind,” Rubio said, rejecting claims that U.S. action in Venezuela was reckless or politically motivated.
Rubio laid out the case bluntly: it was never in the national security interest of the United States to allow a nation in our own hemisphere — rich in energy resources — to be controlled by an indicted narco-trafficker. He accused Maduro of flooding the U.S. with illegal immigration, openly collaborating with drug gangs, and enabling criminal networks to cross American borders.
He went further, charging that Maduro looted Venezuela’s wealth to prop up a brutal, repressive regime while enriching hostile foreign adversaries, including Iran.
“All of that is now changing,” Rubio declared, signaling a decisive shift under President Trump’s leadership.
