Brian A. Nichols: “President Biden has said that democracy holds the key to freedom, prosperity, peace, and dignity.”

The cooperation between the United States and Mexico in addressing the threats that we face has never been better.

In addition, accountability for human rights abuses remains one of the main objectives of U.S. foreign policy in Venezuela, and we take every opportunity to highlight the abuses of the Maduro regime.

The situation in Venezuela remains one of the worst crises in our hemisphere's history, and the responsibility for the crisis falls squarely on the shoulders of the late Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro.

I have supported these sanctions because there is no shortage of individuals in Venezuela who deserve them.
