The Trump administration is considering plans to designate Nicolás Maduros socialist regime in Venezuela a state sponsor of terrorism over its support for Hezbollah and Marxist guerrillas, according to a report from the Spanish newspaper ABC on Tuesday. According to U.S. officials who spoke with the Spanish newspaper, administration officials are currently deliberating whether to add Venezuela to the list of state sponsors of terrorism over its support for groups including the Basque separatist movement ETA, Irans Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah, and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Officials have so far refused to officially confirm whether they plan to do so, although they are reportedly seeking the advice of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is reportedly spearheading the effort, writing a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking for his Department to look into the proposal. Other lawmakers supporting the move reportedly include Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO).
Rubio has become Congresss most prominent voice against the Maduro regime and the countrys worsening humanitarian crisis. In September, Rubio claimed there was a very strong argument for a military intervention in the country on the grounds of national security.

Don’t stop there. Include every country those caravan invaders are from.
He should add Mexico. The Cartels are terrorists and they’ve killed over 250,000 over the last 6 years or so. 35,000 missing.
POTUS considers EO to stop birthright citizenship.
POTUS considers declassifying the FISA doucments.
“considers” is code for not gonna happen.
How about throwing in El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala and Honduras. Their entire populations are asylum seeking refugees. Something isn’t right. The UN needs to get off its ass and do the job they claim to be doing.
LMAO.
Venezuela is imploding as I type.
May as well help them along.

Do it!!!
Go in; kick their butt; take the oil and gold.
No borders works the other way around too!
Li'l Marco should ask Kamala Harris, Spartacus or one of the other RAT's who will be running for President to co-sponsor the bill to flush them out.
Cuba and Venezuela are hand in glove.
Stop calling him that. Rubio has actually supported Trump on a number of things and I think even Trump (who is 63 or so and thus most people are little) regrets the nickname. Dont criticize or media destroy somebody who is actually doing the right thing.
OK...My larger point was to ask for RAT co-sponsors to flush out those RAT’s running for President who would decline co-sponsoring the bill because you know all of them would decline.
