Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States is not at war with Venezuela, a day after U.S. airstrikes and the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Rubio said the operation targeted drug trafficking organizations, not Venezuela, and said no U.S. ground forces are deployed, while declining to clarify who is governing Venezuela now. The administration faces criticism for acting without congressional approval; Democrats including Hakeem Jeffries called it an act of war, and Sen. Tim Kaine said he will push a vote to require explicit authorization. Rubio also warned Cuba, accusing its government of backing Maduro, as Cuba’s president condemned the operation as illegal aggression.

Operation Absolute Resolve: Why Trump Departed From Prepared Remarks and Why It Likely Will Not Affect the Outcome
Operation Absolute Resolve involved the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, framed by U.S. officials as a law-enforcement action to take two indicted individuals into custody. At a press conference, President Trump diverged from that message by discussing nation-building, running Venezuela during a transition, and pursuing U.S. interests such as stability and oil.
