Marco Rubio

Look, I think ultimately we're always going to act in our national interest.

And so if somebody comes after our national interest, like the case you've described, the U.S.

always has the right to act in its national interest and to protect itself.

I don't know about this equivalency.

Does this justify them doing it?

We're always going to do what's best for the United States and America.

The president never ruled out his options as commander in chief to protect the national interest of the United States.

I can tell you right now with full certainty, we are not postured to, nor do we intend or expect

to have to take any military action in Venezuela at any time.

The only military presence you'll see in Venezuela is our Marine Guards at an embassy.

That is our goal, that is our expectation, and that is what everything that outlines towards.

That said, if an Iranian drone factory pops up and threatens our forces in the region,

The president retains the option to eliminate that threat.

If we tell them we don't want to see drones from Iran, as an example, pointed at the United States or threatening our forces or our presence in the region or our allies' presence in the region, and they refuse to comply with that, the president does reserve the option in self-defense to eliminate that threat.

We don't see that.

We don't anticipate it.

But it could happen.

But we hope not.

We don't want it to happen.

Yeah, he meant to say Greenland, but I think we're all familiar with presidents that have verbal stumbles.
