And sever economic ties.

The administration of US President Donald Trump is demanding that Venezuela's interim government kick agents from China, Russia, Iran and Cuba out of the country, writes Axios.

"The US is pressuring Venezuela to remove all suspected spies and other intelligence agents from China, Russia, Cuba and Iran. The move does not apply to staff diplomats, and is the administration's latest attempt to force the country to comply with US demands following last week's operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro," the publication wrote.

Also, according to ABC News sources, Venezuela must sever economic ties with the four countries and agree to an exclusive partnership with the U.S. in oil production and favor America in heavy oil sales.

According to the publication's source, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers at a closed-door briefing on Monday that he believes the U.S. could force Venezuela to take these steps because its existing oil tankers are full. Rubio also told lawmakers that the U.S. estimates Caracas has only weeks left before it will be financially insolvent without selling its oil reserves.

"The president says he intends to maximize leverage with the remaining elements in Venezuela and ensure their cooperation with the United States by stopping illegal migration, stopping the flow of drugs, rebuilding oil infrastructure and taking steps that are fair to the Venezuelan people
