senate 04/01/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing legislation to prevent U.S. government contracts with entities that conduct significant business with the Maduro regime in Venezuela. This aims to reinforce our stance against unrecognized foreign governments and ensure our business engagements align with U.S. diplomatic and humanitarian priorities.

This is a necessary measure to ensure we're not funding authoritarianism with American dollars.

I hope there's a balance here between taking a stand and keeping diplomatic channels open.

Will this bill actually impact the Maduro regime or just limit U.S. business flexibility?

About time we stop doing business with dictators!

Why is the U.S. focusing on punishing companies interacting with Venezuela instead of addressing corporate tax loopholes here at home?

This bill is less about democracy and more about political posturing while ignoring Venezuela's humanitarian crisis.

Instead of another foreign policy stunt, how about we deal with our own authoritarian tendencies first?
