Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the U. S. capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday, going on to call out a reporter for supposedly trying to stir up tension during a press conference.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to threaten the use of force "to ensure maximum cooperation" from the Venezuelan interim authorities when he testifies publicly for the first time since the military operation to capture and depose Nicolás Maduro was carried out in early January.
