Press Release

Date: March 11, 2022
Location: Washington, DC

Representative Stephanie Bice (OK-05) joined Representative Scott Franklin (FL-15) in introducing the Prohibiting Oil Trade with Venezuela's Tyrant Act, which would require the president to prohibit the importation of all petroleum products originating from Venezuela. The bill was developed in response to reports that the Biden Administration discussed loosening sanctions on Venezuela's Máduro regime.

Rep. Bice issued the following statement:

"There is no need to rely on foreign countries for oil and gas when our nation is the best at producing clean, reliable, and affordable energy. The United States should not provide money and support to the socialist and brutal Maduro regime. Instead, American dollars should be used to renew American energy independence in states like Oklahoma."
