Washington, DC – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has actively sought the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, particularly during the Trump administration. His efforts culminated in Maduro’s illegal abduction and were marked by strategic alignment with competing interests within the administration, despite initial ideological conflicts. Rubio’s foreign policy reflects a hawkish stance favoring intervention and maximum-pressure sanctions, rooted in his anti-communist background. Following Maduro’s capture, Rubio signaled a renewed focus on Cuba, hinting at its potential vulnerability amidst these developments.
