Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) released the following statement in response to U.S. military action in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of leader Nicolás Maduro.
“Maduro was a corrupt and illegitimate leader and must face justice. I am thankful every American service member returned home safe,” said Congressman Sorensen. “I am disturbed that Donald Trump thinks it’s okay to ‘run Venezuela’ indefinitely and that his actions do not need the approval of Congress. I am equally disturbed that the President thinks it’s okay for American oil companies to profit from this action. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires Congress to be briefed within 48 hours. I look forward to asking the important questions and demanding honest answers.”
