While the United Nations Security Council took on the political crisis in Venezuela on Saturday morning, Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio released a video highlighting his stance on the deteriorating situation is in Venezuela.
The video — which includes statements he himself has made to the media and before the U.S. Congress — seemed aimed at maintaining international pressure against the Nicolás Maduro regime.
In recent months, Rubio has played a key role in pushing the Trump administration to take a tough stance on Venezuela. That pressure came to a climax on Wednesday when the U.S. government formally recognized Juan Guaidó as the interim president of Venezuela and labeled Maduro as “illegitimate.”
