Benjamin L. Cardin: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and let me thank all of our witnesses.”

I thank Senator Cardin for his leadership in championing the Global Magnitsky Act.

I support that, but whether we will ever get to that point, my concern is it is going to be years down the road, and we are going to have another Moldova and another Georgia.

why do we not widen this piece of legislation out so it includes all human rights abusers in Russia?

We think the United States has to work with our partners in South America to make it clear that that was not an election where Maduro won.
