The Republican senator Rick Scott once again criticized the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, labeling him as a "dangerous madman" who poses a direct threat to the United States.
In a strong message on the social media platform X, Scott reiterated his call to pass his legislative proposal, the STOP MADURO Act, which seeks to increase the reward for the capture of the Venezuelan leader to 100 million dollars.
"Maduro is an adversary that openly threatens the United States and is willing to do anything to stay in power," stated the representative from Florida.
According to the legislator, the Chavista leader prioritizes his personal enrichment and that of his allies, while the Venezuelan people continue to face an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
The senator emphasized that the only solution for Venezuela is the immediate removal of Maduro from power, as a crucial step towards restoring democracy and freedom in the South American country.
"The Congress must act quickly and approve my proposal to raise the reward for his arrest to 100 million dollars as soon as possible," emphasized Scott.
The STOP MADURO Act is part of Scott's efforts to intensify international pressure on the Venezuelan regime and reinforce the United States' commitment to the democratic cause in Venezuela.
