Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro of not having a legitimate government and called the regime a “transshipment organization” to traffic drugs sourced in neighboring Colombia into other countries.
“The Maduro regime is not a legitimate government,” Rubio told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a Tuesday evening interview. “What it is is a transshipment organization. It allows cocaine and other drugs that are produced in Colombia to be trafficked through Venezuelan territory and—with the cooperation of elements of the regime—are allowed to ... leave Venezuela on airplanes and ships headed towards the United States.”
