U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a naval "quarantine" around Venezuela to block oil tankers, aiming to exert leverage following President Nicolás Maduro's capture. The U.S. military presence in the Caribbean will continue until changes benefit American interests and the Venezuelan people. Maduro and his wife face federal drug trafficking and weapons charges. While the U.S. has positioned a significant naval force, no troops are currently in Venezuela, and Maduro's aides reportedly remain in control.
