U.S. Senator Rick Scott argued that interventions in Venezuela would trigger a broad political transformation across Latin America. Scott suggested that this wave of change would extend to Cuba and Nicaragua, claiming that with the upcoming elections in Colombia, there would be a change in government, stating, "After Venezuela, we will fix Cuba. Then Nicaragua. Next year, there will be a new president in Colombia."

U.S. Republican Senator Rick Scott defended the U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration's attack on Venezuela, claiming that this step would initiate a wave of change across Latin America. Scott asserted that Cuba and Nicaragua are also among the targets, and that a new administration will take office in Colombia next year.

PRAISE FOR THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION

Speaking to the U.S. media, Florida Senator Rick Scott expressed praise for President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following the attack that resulted in the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the U.S. Scott argued that the operation would fundamentally change the political balances in the region.

"THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF CHANGING VENEZUELA"

In a live broadcast, Scott stated, "I am proud of what President Trump has done. What he is doing in Venezuela will change Latin America. This is the beginning of changing Venezuela."

"THERE WILL BE A NEW PRESIDENT IN COLOMBIA"

Targeting the leftist governments in the region, Senator Scott suggested that the Washington administration's interventions would continue. Scott said, "This process will continue. We will fix Cuba. Then Nicaragua will be fixed. Next year, we will have a new president in Colombia. Democracy is returning to this hemisphere."
