Marco Rubio says US could use military force in Venezuela if cooperation falters

Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator, told a Senate hearing that the United States is not currently planning a military action in Venezuela. However, he warned that the U.S. could use force if Venezuela's government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, does not cooperate with U.S. expectations.

Rubio also defended a previous military operation to arrest Venezuela's president and thanked Argentina's Pablo Quirno for cooperation against what he called 'narco-terrorism' in Venezuela.
