Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the U.S. Senate on Wednesday that Venezuela's new leaders were moving toward closer ties with the United States, leaving no immediate need for further U.S. military action, as he publicly faced lawmakers' questions for the first time since the raid to seize President Nicolas Maduro this month, APA reports citing Reuters.
"The only military presence you will see in Venezuela is our Marine guards at an embassy. That is our goal. That is our expectation," Rubio said.
