A statement by America’s Foreign Minister Marco Rubio is being discussed in full swing. When he was asked the meaning of the American operation in Venezuela, if the purpose of this attack was to bring the leader Nicolas Maduro to justice, then what was the need to capture Venezuela’s oil industry. He has replied in detail on this.
In an interview given to NBC News, he said that this is the Western Hemisphere. We live here. America will not allow American enemies to establish an operation base in this area.
He said that we do not need backup. We have plenty of oil. We will not allow Venezuela’s oil industry to be run by America’s enemies.
Russia, China and Iran also targeted
Marco Rubio said you have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They are not even on this continent. This is the western area. We live here. We want that the people there should benefit from the oil earnings of that country.
🚨HOLY SMOKES. In an incredible moment, Sec. Marco Rubio declares the Western Hemisphere is OURS, Russia, China and Iran must GET OUT
WELKER: Why does the US need Venezuelan oil?!

Migration into Venezuela continues since 2014
He also pointed to the ongoing migration from Venezuela since 2014. He has blamed this on the increasing foreign interference in Venezuela. Also said that he also did the work of destabilizing this area.
Rubio said that all this is not going to happen now. They will no longer come to our areas and destabilize our areas. Otherwise they will have to pay the price. This would not have happened if President Trump was there.
We were in no mood to take risks
On this, he was also asked about the compulsion of not getting approval from the US Congress. He told that this was not an action for which Congress’s approval was required. This was not an attack. This was not even a long military operation. It was a very precise operation. Action was taken within a few hours. We were in no mood to take any kind of risk.
