The Venezuelan president should flee the country, Senator Rick Scott has suggested
A leading US senator has warned that Venezuela could soon face regime change and urged President Nicolas Maduro to flee, as the US military gathers forces off the South American country’s coast.
In an interview with CBS News on Sunday, Senator Rick Scott, who serves on the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, suggested that Maduro’s rule is nearing its end.
“His days are numbered,” Scott said. “Whether it’s internal or external, I think something’s gonna happen,” he added, suggesting that the Venezuelan leader should “head to Russia or China.”
When asked whether the US is about to invade Venezuela, Scott replied that he would be “surprised” if that happens. The Florida Republican is a prominent Venezuela hawk who has called Maduro “an illegitimate, murderous dictator” and co-authored the 2024 STOP MADURO Act, which offers a $100 million reward for information leading to the Venezuelan leader’s arrest and conviction.
