The Maduro regime is not one of elected officials chosen by the Venezuelan people but criminals who run a mafia-like enterprise.

I strongly support the continuation of sanctions against the Maduro regime.

This is about the other nations that we talked about, Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, Bolivia.

If it is doing so well, the Maduro regime is doing so well, why would 3 million people of your own country want to leave?

I commend the Trump administration's strong support for Guaido and the Venezuelan people.

I am encouraged by the efforts of the administration and Special Representative Elliott Abrams.

If that happens, that would be a huge concession on his part.

I look forward to the hearing.

I commend the Trump administration for leading the effort to bring humanitarian assistance to the Venezuelan people.

We cannot worry about what did not work in the past--I mean, we have to learn from that--but more forward looking.

We have made massive concessions while getting nothing in return that makes us safer.

We have made enormous concessions to North Korea.

We have weakened our sanctions in two ways.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in sadness, but also to honor a commissioner, Commissioner Marcus Hardy, who was a highly respected leader in his community. Marcus served as a city commissioner in the town of Crescent City, Florida, which is…

I believe we need tougher sanctions.

We would be much safer if North Korea had a limited number of nuclear weapons that were highly monitored.

However, over the course of President Trump's first term, we have moved from the brink of war to a period of diplomacy.

We should not forget that when President Trump took office, President Obama warned him that the Korean Peninsula would present him his most urgent security challenge.
