Rubio Clarifies U.S. Strategy for Venezuela Post-Maduro
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the U.S. plans to leverage its oil sanctions and regional military buildup to influence Venezuela's future, without directly governing the country, following the capture of President Maduro, who has been charged with drug trafficking and replaced by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. The U.S. aims to use economic and military pressure to push for governance changes, with potential involvement of Western oil companies, while avoiding direct nation-building.
