WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Carlos A. Giménez (FL-28) has expressed his strong opposition to the Biden Administration's decision to ease oil sanctions on the socialist and dictatorial regime of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.
In a statement, Rep. Giménez condemned President Biden's actions, stating, "President Biden’s weakness has emboldened murderous dictators around the world. Sanctions should not be lifted until Maduro’s oppression ends, democracy is restored in Venezuela, and all political prisoners are released. Instead of lifting sanctions on a dictatorial regime, President Biden should lift his ruinous energy regulations and unshackle American energy dominance."
Rep. Giménez, who represents Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys, has a personal connection to the issue at hand. As the only Cuban-born Member of the 118th Congress, he fled his homeland shortly after the Communist takeover of the island. His experience has shaped his strong stance against oppressive regimes.
With his position on the House Armed Services Committee, the Homeland Security Committee, and the Select Committee on China, Rep. Giménez is dedicated to protecting the interests of the United States and advocating for human rights and democracy around the world.
The decision to ease oil sanctions on the Maduro regime has sparked controversy and debate. Critics argue that these sanctions should only be lifted when Maduro's regime ends its oppressive tactics and restores democracy. The concern is that easing sanctions without these conditions being met may only serve to support and strengthen the regime.
The Congressman's statement resonates with those who believe that the United States should maintain a strong stance against dictatorial regimes and prioritize the promotion of democracy and human rights. Rep. Giménez's call to lift ruinous energy regulations and promote American energy dominance aligns with his commitment to advancing the interests of the American people.
As the situation in Venezuela continues to evolve, it remains to be seen what impact the easing of oil sanctions will have. Congressman Giménez's condemnation serves as an important reminder of the need to prioritize the well-being of the Venezuelan people and work towards a future of freedom and democracy in the country.
