Ilhan Omar’s statement on the United States easing sanctions on Venezuelan oil | 2023-10-19 | 2023 | 2023-10 | Democrat | House | MN | Ilhan Omar | O000173 | omar.house.gov | omar | https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINTON -- Rep. Ilhan Omar’s released the following statement on the United States easing Venezuelan Sanctions: “I strongly support the Biden Administration’s decision to ease Trump’s Venezuela sanctions after the agreement between the Venezuelan government and opposition figures to allow for free and fair elections in 2024. This is a breakthrough in U.S. policy toward Venezuela that has the possibility of leading to significant improvements in the lives of the Venezuelan people. Trump’s sanctions programs in Venezuela have contributed enormously to Venezuelan suffering while achieving none of their political goals. "I am also grateful to the Norwegian government for the critical role they have played in facilitating dialogue and supporting this process. We have a chance now to move past the failed policies of the Trump Administration in Venezuela towards a better and more representative Venezuelan democracy. I hope we will seize it.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
