Rubio on Venezuela Sanctions Relief: President Biden Continues to Appease Dictators

Press Release

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement following reports that the Biden Administration will provide sanctions relief for the Maduro narco-regime in Venezuela.

"President Biden claims to support democracy and human rights, but his foreign policy strategy is actually built around appeasement and giving concessions to dictators," Rubio said. "Yesterday, it was the oppressive Cuban regime, and today, it is the criminal Maduro regime in Venezuela. Simply put, President Biden is strengthening illegitimate, corrupt regimes in our hemisphere that undermine American national security.

"There is bipartisan opposition to his plan, and I urge my colleagues to pass my Preempting Misguided Appeasement and Financing of Destabilizing Regimes Act to prohibit the importation of crude oil from Venezuela. We cannot continue to allow the Marxist sympathizers in the Biden Administration to run America's foreign policy," Rubio concluded.
