Marco Rubio: “We’ll see if we can make progress.”

If that's the interim authorities that try to do harm to this process or stop complying, then we're gonna have a problem. But I don't expect that. I really, really don't.

Venezuela has two options here. Option one is to truly enter into a period of both reconciliation and reformation so that they can have elections that result not just in a democratically elected government but an enduring republic.

The alternative is going to be either violence and armed conflict within the country, or back to the way things have been for the last 20 years, which have not been good for the people of Venezuela.

Likewise, we expect all political actors to support these talks which represent the best chance Venezuela has had in thirty years to peacefully achieve not just a free and fair election but an enduring democracy.
