No contracts for companies doing business with Maduro

0SHARES

Republican Florida lawmakers, Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott joined by Rep. Michael Waltz, have introduced the Venezuelan Contracting Restriction Act, which would restrict U.S. government contracts from being awarded to companies that are engaged in business with Nicolas Maduro.

The bill compliments the Small Scale LNG Access Act that Waltz introduced last month with the help of Republican Rep. Ted Yoho.

In addition, the legislation comes at a time when there’s been mounting pressure for Maduro to step down as President of Venezuela. President Donald Trump and the United States recognized the National Assembly’s decision to declare Nicolas Maduro illegitimate, which was the country’s act of invoking their constitution.
