U.S. Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart, Carlos A. Giménez, and María Elvira Salazar have expressed their support for President Trump's decision to cut off Venezuela's oil lifeline. This move reverses what they describe as the Biden-Harris Administration's "pathetic bailout" of Nicolás Maduro's government.
The representatives stated: “When it comes to defending the cause of freedom in illegitimate regimes like Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, there is no greater ally than President Donald J. Trump. President Trump is keeping his promise." They emphasized that under Trump's leadership, the U.S. would no longer appease regimes hostile to American interests.
They highlighted actions taken by Trump within his first 100 days in office, including reinstating a strict policy on Cuba by placing it back on the State Sponsor of Terrorism list and prohibiting financial transactions with the Cuban military.
The representatives praised Trump's approach to foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere, stating that he prioritizes national security and prosperity both domestically and regionally. They commended him for demonstrating "true American leadership" and for his decisive actions against tyranny.
The statement concluded with their commitment to continue working with Trump on these issues.
