Our role must be a supportive one, but one that stands for universal principles of freedom and democracy.

This was a disgrace, and we need to keep looking for ways to get this assistance to those who need it.
We will continue pressing for humanitarian assistance delivery with the help of regional partners and the international community.
I continue to work with the chairman in a bipartisan manner to condemn the criminal actions of Nicolas Maduro and countries like Cuba, Russia, China, Iran, and Syria for supporting his regime.
The United States is holding accountable those responsible for Venezuela's tragic decline.
We are hopeful and confident that the Venezuelan people will succeed in their quest for liberty.
Now some consider it a good sound bite to say that Venezuela represents the failure of socialism, but we should be honest that Venezuela is not a socialist country.
I hope we can continue to have dialog on it because I think it is really, really important.
The blame lies squarely with the crooked officials who have repressed the Venezuelan people for years.
In no way would the Colombian government permit or agree with any type of military intervention.
I believe this is an issue that both parties can come together on and do what is best for the people of Venezuela to support this noble cause.
the entire thrust of American policy in Venezuela is to support the Venezuelan people's effort to restore democracy to their country.
Now is the time for the armed forces to support the Venezuelan people and reclaim their own legitimacy.
I certainly understand the need to squeeze Maduro, but I hope that the White House has thought through the potential impact.
We cannot look the other way when it comes to the recklessness with which the Saudi-led coalition has conducted its operations.
This is not just a statistic. One of those one in three was a school bus in northern Yemen with 40 children on it. That is not acceptable.
We need to see a real change in Saudi behavior. We need to push for accountability.
