US House Speaker Mike Johnson has called for elections in Venezuela after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a vote in the country would be premature.
“I expect that there will be an election called in Venezuela,” Johnson told reporters, following a briefing to lawmakers by Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth.
“It should happen in short order. And I think it will need to be, so that their economy can remain stabilised and the country can remain stabilised,” he said.
