Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday refused to rule out further U.S. attacks on Venezuela. Rubio’s threat came during testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he told lawmakers that Venezuela’s interim government has agreed to submit a monthly budget to the Trump administration, which will release money from an account funded by oil sales and initially managed by Qatar. Rubio’s testimony was interrupted by Venezuelan American activist Leonardo Flores with the antiwar group CodePink.

Leonardo Flores: “The sanctions on Venezuela are collective punishment of civilians. That’s a war crime. He’s committed at least four war crimes since this operation started in August. Perfidy — they disguised a plane, a military plane, as a civilian craft. They double-tapped a boat of fishermen. They also blockaded Venezuela. That’s an act of war.”
