Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights and Global Women’s Issues, today announced a hearing to be held next Tuesday, March 17 on the crisis in Venezuela.
The hearing, entitled “Deepening Political and Economic Crisis in Venezuela: Implications for U.S. Interests and the Western Hemisphere,” will feature testimony from Obama Administration officials and non-government experts.
“The human rights and economic crisis in Venezuela is only going to get worse and will have major repercussions on America’s interests there and throughout the entire Western Hemisphere,” said Rubio. “While the financial sanctions on individual human rights violators that were announced earlier this week have put a spotlight on the disaster Nicolas Maduro and his regime have inflicted on the Venezuelan people, more must be done and more attention must be paid to this humanitarian and economic crisis that increasingly threatens regional security. This hearing will be another opportunity to continue pressuring the Obama Administration to do more to stand with the people of Venezuela and defend our values and interests.”
The full details of the hearing are as follows:
