According to CBS, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said on Sunday that following the U.S. airstrike on Venezuela and the capture of President Maduro, President Donald Trump has always had multiple options regarding what actions to take next in Venezuela.When asked to confirm that the U.S. would not “occupy” Venezuela, Rubio said, “The President always has options on any matter, and this is true for all these issues.”"Rubio added: "He certainly has the authority to do so, and under the U.S. Constitution, he also has the right to take action in response to an imminent and grave threat to the nation."” U.S. President Donald Trump had previously stated that he was “not afraid” to “deploy ground troops” in Venezuela. Rubio elaborated on this point on Sunday, saying that Donald Trump“does not feel it is necessary to publicly rule out any viable options available to the United States, even though that is not the case at present.”
