“The rise to power of Tareck El Aissami has been an alarming development for anyone desiring a future of freedom, democracy, and dignity for the Venezuelan people. These sanctions send a strong message of solidarity to the people of Venezuela and against the gangsters who have destroyed that country and brought so many Venezuelans to the point of starvation."
Today, Representative Carlos Curbelo (FL-26) released the following sanctions commending the Trump Administration’s swift action to sanction Venezuela’s Tareck El Aissami:
“The rise to power of Tareck El Aissami has been an alarming development for anyone desiring a future of freedom, democracy, and dignity for the Venezuelan people. These sanctions send a strong message of solidarity to the people of Venezuela and against the gangsters who have destroyed that country and brought so many Venezuelans to the point of starvation. I’m grateful the Administration took such swift action after my colleagues and I urged the President to sanction this Maduro thug last week. I look forward to continuing to work with this Administration to prioritize human rights and hold corrupt regimes accountable.”
