This Senate resolution expresses support for holding general elections in Venezuela and calls on the United States to use diplomatic efforts to encourage internationally monitored, free and fair elections in the country. The resolution specifically backs the Venezuelan democratic opposition, naming Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as leaders, while expressing that the current Maduro-Rodriguez regime lacks international legitimacy and the support of the Venezuelan people. The measure argues that having a democratic Venezuela is in the national interest of the United States and emphasizes the importance of reducing the influence of China, Iran, and Cuba in the region. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than legislation that creates new laws or programs, so it does not establish specific funding or implementation timelines.
