In a September 2025 press event in Ecuador, Secretary of State Rubio rejected a UN claim downplaying Venezuela’s drug role, citing Maduro’s 2020 narcoterrorism indictment for flooding the U.S. with cocaine to fund repression. The clip gained fresh attention after U.S. troops seized Maduro over the weekend, flying him to New York for trial amid strikes on drug boats and oil tankers. President Trump praised the operation as a strike against narcotics and foreign threats, while UN chief Guterres decried it as a violation of international law; conservatives lauded Rubio’s stance, and critics questioned the evidence.
