In a recent response to an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Senator Rick Scott emphasized the need for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to show unwavering support for Venezuelans in their struggle for freedom. This comes in the wake of Nicolás Maduro's continued efforts to maintain power.
Senator Scott's letter to the editor states, "The Biden-Harris administration’s history of disgusting appeasement of Nicolás Maduro, the madman ruling Venezuela, has done nothing but enable more repression, torture and oppression of the Venezuelan people."
Scott outlines three specific actions he believes the administration should take if it is serious about supporting Venezuela:
1. Commit that no U.S. funds or assistance will go to Mr. Maduro while reimposing sanctions on him and his military supporters.
2. Impose sanctions on countries aiding Mr. Maduro's regime.
3. Call for an immediate end to the repression of Venezuelans and make daily statements supporting this cause.
The full letter can be read in The Wall Street Journal.
