Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to warn today that oil-rich Venezuela’s leader will suffer the fate of US-deposed predecessor Nicolas Maduro if she fails to comply with US wishes.
Delcy Rodriguez, who was vice president and is now acting president, “is well aware of the fate of Maduro,” Rubio will tell the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to prepared testimony.
“It is our belief that her own self-interest aligns with advancing our key objectives,” Rubio is to say.
