WASHINGTON — Florida lawmakers are proving to have a large influence on the federal response to the crisis in Venezuela.
U.S. officials announced sanctions against a Venezuelan oil company on Monday. Last week, President Donald Trump recognized the head of Venezuela’s national assembly and self-proclaimed acting-president Juan Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela.
“The Venezuelan government is now the government of President Guaidó,” said Sen. Marco Rubio in an interview with Spectrum News.
The announcement came after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and other members of the Sunshine State’s delegation huddled at the White House, urging the administration to take action.
