POTUS on the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro: "The team did an incredible job... There's no other country on Earth that can do such a maneuver."

POTUS on Maduro loyalists: "If they stay loyal, the future is really bad, really bad for them... They have American flags being waved on the streets, so I think he's got very little support. He was a dictator that the people hated."

@RapidResponse

"What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so that he can face American justice?"

POTUS: "We're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it and just take over where he left off."

Marco Rubio: "We retain all the options we had before this raid and this capture and this arrest... until such time as changes are made. I cannot overstate how crippling this is. On the other hand, there's an alternative... an oil industry that actually benefits the people."

Marco Rubio: "The whole foreign policy apparatus thinks everything is Libya, everything is Iraq, everything is Afghanistan. This is not the Middle East, and our mission here is very different. This is the Western Hemisphere."
