The message seemed designed to reach Washington as one administration prepares to hand the baton to the next: If the United States keeps messing with Venezuela, then Caracas will retaliate by “liberating” the US territory of Puerto Rico, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro claimed last week.
Notwithstanding the fact that a majority of Puerto Ricans voted in favor of becoming a US state in a nonbinding referendum, or that the last time a Venezuelan army ventured abroad was in the Independence Wars over two hundred years ago, Maduro swaggered as if he were ready to send troops across the sea to the cradle of raggaetón, an imagined not-so-welcome message to President-elect Donald Trump, just 10 days before his inauguration.
Marco Rubio, soon-to-be the first Latino Secretary of State, thinks those licenses were a mistake. The Florida politician helped design that sanctions approach to Caracas – his Senate hearing on Wednesday was disrupted by protesters accusing, in Spanish, of “sanctions killing children in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.” At the hearing, Rubio also criticized the Biden administration for being “played” by Maduro and suggested a revision of the current licenses in the months to come.
