'We've never ruled out 'use of force' in Venezuela, but...': Rubio 'schools' Murphy at Senate hearing
Watch Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a dramatic Senate hearing clash with Sen. Chris Murphy over U.S policy toward Venezuela. Rubio told lawmakers that the Trump administration does not 'intend or expect' to use military force in Venezuela, even as he defended the controversial operation that ousted Nicolás Maduro and outlined Washington’s strategy moving forward. Rubio stressed cooperation with Venezuela’s interim leaders while warning that additional force would be considered if they fail to meet U.S expectations, a stance that left Murphy visibly stunned and sparked heated exchanges on the Senate floor.
