Marco Rubio is visiting the Caribbean, where he's defending the Trump administration’s military operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro. The secretary of state tells leaders from the 15-member Caribbean Community bloc that Venezuela and the region are better off as a result of that U.S. raid. Rubio said Wednesday that he offered the defense without “apology” or “apprehension.” Caribbean leaders have been unsettled by the Maduro operation, particularly because it was accompanied by a significant hardening of U.S. policies in the Western Hemisphere.
