Rubio Statement on Secretary Pompeo’s Meeting with Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaidó
Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo traveled to Bogotá, Colombia to meet with Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaidó and address the Third Western Hemisphere Counterterrorism Ministerial:
“This month, the international community witnessed and condemned the Maduro regime’s escalation of violence against members of the democratically-elected National Assembly and Interim President Juan Guaidó. Secretary Pompeo’s meeting with Guaidó will reaffirm our nation’s unwavering support for the restoration of democratic order to a nation that has been destroyed by a narco-terrorist regime. As Maduro and his thugs continue to offer a safe-haven to Iran-backed Hezbollah sympathizers and members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the National Liberation Army (ELN), and the Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA), the U.S. must redouble its counterterrorism efforts against a growing threat, which I’ve reiterated poses a direct threat to our national security interests and the peace and stability of our regional allies.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.

Miami, FL — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado con motivo del viaje del secretario de estado Mike Pompeo a Bogotá, Colombia para reunirse con el presidente interino de Venezuela Juan Guaidó y donde el secretario de estado dará un discurso en el marco de la tercera reunión regional contra terrorismo:
“Este mes, la comunidad internacional presenció y condenó la creciente escalada de violencia por parte del régimen de Maduro contra miembros de la Asamblea Nacional, electa democráticamente, y contra el presidente interino Juan Guaidó. La reunión del secretario Pompeo con Guaidó reafirmará el apoyo inquebrantable de nuestra nación en la restauración del orden democrático a un país que ha sido destruido por un régimen narcoterrorista. Mientras Maduro y sus secuaces continúan dando refugio a simpatizantes de Hezbolá, respaldados por Irán, y a los miembros de las FARC, del ELN y de ETA, los Estados Unidos debe redoblar sus esfuerzos en temas de terrorismo contra una amenaza creciente, la cual he reiterado es una amenaza directa para nuestros intereses de seguridad nacional y también para la paz y estabilidad de nuestros aliados regionales”.
Rubio es el presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
