In the first public hearing since the Jan. 3 intervention to depose Maduro, Rubio said Trump had acted to take out a major U.S. national security threat in the Western Hemisphere.
“We’re not going to have this thing turn around overnight, but I think we’re making good and decent progress,” Rubio said.
He said the uproar over Greenland within NATO is calming and that talks are underway about how to deal with Trump’s demands.
As Trump once more threatens Iran with military action, Rubio said there was no current plan to attack.
The GOP-led House narrowly defeated a war powers act resolution that would have directed Trump to remove U.S. troops from Venezuela.
