Rubio Clarifies US Venezuela Stance: No Governance, Just Oil 'Quarantine'

• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the US will not govern Venezuela, walking back President Trump's earlier comments.
• Rubio stated US involvement would be limited to enforcing an existing 'oil quarantine' and sanctions, not nation-building.
• The clarification aims to ease concerns about long-term foreign intervention, distinguishing it from past US actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.
• The US will continue enforcing restrictions on sanctioned oil tankers, using this as leverage for change in Venezuela.
• The goal is to push for changes benefiting the Venezuelan people, stopping drug trafficking, and serving US national interests.

Why It Matters: US will enforce an oil 'quarantine' in Venezuela, not govern, clarifying Trump's remarks.
