In the opinion of Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, “Venezuela now has an opportunity for a new future that did not exist six weeks ago.”
The Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, stated this Sunday, February 15, that the situation in Venezuela is now much better than before the capture of Nicolás Maduro on January 3 and said that, although many countries did not like it, the operation was a success of which he is proud.
«There is still a long way to go, there is a lot of work to do. But I can tell you that Venezuela is much better today than it was six weeks ago,” these statements were offered during a press conference in Bratislava with the Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico, broadcast by the State Department.
Rubio thus reacted to a question to Fico, who condemned the detention of Maduro by US troops.
The prime minister then described the operation, which included the bombing of military bases, as proof of the “breakdown of the world order created after the Second World War.”
Rubio stated that he is aware that there are close US allies who “did not like” that operation in Venezuela. However, he maintained that these discrepancies do not mean that they cannot be partners since “countries express their opinion all the time.”
«But I tell you one thing: it was a success. We are proud of it. It was necessary because that guy was a narcoterrorist; “We made him several offers and he decided to reject them,” he said.
The Secretary of State declared that, beyond opinions, “now everyone can agree that Venezuela has an opportunity for a new future that did not exist six weeks ago.”
