国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周日为美国抓获前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗辩护，并指责一名记者在新闻发布会上试图煽动紧张局势。
卢比奥在与斯洛伐克总理罗伯特·菲科的联合亮相中发表了上述言论。一名记者提到菲科此前对美国针对马杜罗的行动的批评，并询问他是否支持该行动，卢比奥在回答该记者其他问题时首先回应了这一问题。
“我认为你问这个问题是为了，比如，看看能否让他反对我们，或者其他什么……很多国家不喜欢我们在委内瑞拉做的事。没关系。那是符合我们国家利益的，”卢比奥说。
“我相信有一天你们可能会做一些我们不喜欢的事，我们会说我们不喜欢你这么做，”卢比奥继续说道，同时转向菲科。”那又怎样？这并不意味着我们不会成为朋友，不会成为伙伴，”卢比奥说。

“我们有非常亲密的盟友，他们不喜欢我们在这方面的做法。我可以告诉你，那是成功的。那是必要的，因为这个人是个贩毒恐怖分子，我们给了他很多机会，”国务卿继续说道。
“看看他离开后六个星期委内瑞拉发生了什么，”卢比奥承认该国仍有”很长的路要走”。
“仍然有很多工作需要完成，但我可以告诉你，委内瑞拉今天比六周前好得多。所以我们为那个项目感到非常自豪。我知道有些人会不同意……我认为现在每个人都可以同意，委内瑞拉有了六周前没有的新未来的机会，”他补充道。
卢比奥的这番言论发表在总统唐纳德·特朗普详细描述军方在抓捕马杜罗行动中的实力之后几天。特朗普在北卡罗来纳州布拉格堡发表讲话，表彰了美国特种部队及其家属在行动中的作用。

“在（马杜罗）登上直升机被带走之前，只用了几分钟。他们不得不穿过钢制门，”特朗普周五下午说。”那些钢就像纸糊的一样。你知道纸糊是什么吗？那是很脆弱的纸。”
美国特种作战部队成功抓获马杜罗及其妻子，指控其犯有大规模毒品罪。特朗普称赞这次行动中没有一名美国人伤亡，尽管马杜罗被关押在一个重兵把守的军事基地。
“这些人炸开了所有的门，”特朗普周五继续说道。”他们在他到达大保险箱之前就抓到了他。但那也没用，因为他们有可以在几分钟内炸开保险箱的设备，但他没来得及。整个过程太快了。”

马杜罗被直升机迅速带离，之后被带到美国，他面临包括贩毒恐怖主义合谋、可卡因走私合谋和与武器相关的罪行在内的联邦指控。他目前被关押在纽约市大都会拘留中心。

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the U.S. capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday, going on to call out a reporter for supposedly trying to stir up tension during a press conference.
Rubio made the statement during a joint appearance with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico. A reporter referenced Fico’s previous criticism of the U.S. operation against Maduro and asked whether he stood by it, leading Rubio to address the issue first while he was answering other questions from the same reporter.
“I think you asked him a question in order to, like, see if you can get him against us, or something… A lot of countries didn’t like what we did in Venezuela. That’s okay. That was in our national interest,” Rubio said.
“I’m sure there’s something you may do one day that we don’t like, and we’ll say we didn’t like that you did this,” Rubio continued, while turning to Fico. “So what? That doesn’t mean we’re not going to be friends, we’re not going to be partners,” Rubio said.

“We have very close allies that didn’t like what we did in that regard. I can tell you what, it was successful. It was necessary, because the guy was a narco-terrorist, and we made him a bunch of offers,” the secretary continued.
“And look what’s happened in Venezuela in the six weeks since he’s been gone,” Rubio said acknowledging that the country still has “a long way to go.”
“There’s still much work that needs to be done, but I can tell you Venezuela is much better off today than it was six weeks ago. So we’re very proud of that project. And I know some will disagree … I think everyone can now agree that Venezuela has an opportunity at a new future that wasn’t there six weeks ago,” he added.
Rubio’s statement comes days after President Donald Trump recounted the military’s strength during the operation to capture Maduro. Trump, speaking in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, honored U.S. special forces and their families for their roles in the operation.

“It was in a matter of minutes before (Maduro) was on a helicopter being taken out of there. They had to go through steel doors,” Trump said Friday afternoon. “The steels were like it was like paper-maché. You know what paper-maché is? That’s weak paper.”
U.S. special operations forces carried out the successful capture of Maduro and his wife on sweeping narcotics charges. Trump celebrated that there wasn’t single U.S. casualty during the operation, despite Maduro being housed on a heavily-armed military base.
“These guys blasted through every door,” Trump continued Friday. “They got up to him before he got to the big safe. But that wouldn’t have worked either, because they had equipment that was going to knock that out in a matter of minutes, but he never got there. It went so fast.”

Maduro was whisked off on a helicopter, before he was brought to the U.S., where he faces federal charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine-trafficking conspiracy and weapons-related offenses. He is being held in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City.
