Clarke (NY-09) issued the following statement regarding the recent and ongoing territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana:\n\n\u201cFor decades, the Guyanese people and their nation have stood among the United States\u2019 dearest partners in the Caribbean and Western Hemisphere.

American national security relies on the continued peaceful stability of the region \u2013 an essential undertaking that no authoritarian\u2019s duplicitous ploys for oil wealth will ever play a role in.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://clarke.house.gov/clarke-issues-statement-on-territorial-dispute-between-venezuela-and-guyana/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.408799085766077, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
