(The Center Square) – The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday passed the Banning Operations and Leases with the Illegitimate Venezuelan Authoritarian Regime Act.
U.S. Reps. Mike Waltz, R-FL, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-FL, introduced the legislation in February, which seeks to extend existing restrictions on U.S. government contracts with Venezuela to include all U.S. agencies, not just the Department of Defense.
