Joint resolution condemning the January 3, 2026, U.S. military incursion in Venezuela and imploring that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, be released from U.S. custody; that all U.S. military forces recently deployed in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean be withdrawn immediately; that Venezuelans be allowed to exercise their right to political self-determination on their own accord; and that the United States abandon any intentions or plans to repeat a similar intervention to disrupt or destroy the right to self-determination and political sovereignty of any other nation

The bill is a joint resolution that condemns a U.S. military action in Venezuela on January 3, 2026, and calls for the release of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from U.S. custody. It demands the immediate withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean and supports the right of Venezuelans to determine their own political future without foreign intervention.

Supporters of the bill would frame it as a strong stand for international law and the principle of self-determination, emphasizing the importance of allowing nations to govern themselves without external interference. They would argue that the resolution promotes peace and diplomacy over military action, advocating for a respectful relationship between the U.S. and Venezuela.

Critics of the bill might argue that it undermines U.S. national security interests and could embolden hostile regimes by appearing to condone their actions. They may contend that the resolution fails to address the complexities of the situation in Venezuela and could be seen as a naive approach to foreign policy that risks allowing authoritarianism to flourish.
