in venezuela. the people know what is going on in venezuela mainly because of you. i want to thank you because of that. we are talking about the suffering of the venezuelan people and in a certain way you have been putting in the headlines what is going on in venezuela and the type of dictatorship we are confronting. having said that, i would like context of thee venezuelan crisis so that you may know. after that i would like to give you an overview of where we are and then open for the q and a session. the first point i would like to make is that we are facing the worst humanitarian crisis in our recent history. we have not seen this in the past. you know all the numbers. better than me. the economic contraction is close to 60%. twice the size of the great depression here in the states. theinflation projections last one i saw was 10,000,000%. we have a lack of food and medicine and people are dying because of that. that we aree saying counting the loss of life in venezuela and that is the reality.

the people of venezuela are suffering. do notple of venezuela find a future inside of venezuela. so, with this situation, and this would be my second point -- just keep this in mind -- the only way to resolve the crisis is taking maduro out of power. bringing an end to the dictatorship in venezuela. the only way. restore democracy in our country. and that is why we have been fighting in our country. as you know, at the beginning of , interim president juan guaido assumed the presidency of venezuela, following a constitutional procedure. and i want to be very clear on this. as you know, maduro conducted a declared by our national assembly as illegal. was a vacancy in the presidency of venezuela. according to our constitution, the president of the national assembly has the obligation to assume the presidency of venezuela. in other words, juan guaido did not have any other choice. he automatically becomes the president of venezuela, and that thehy we are declaring legitimacy of the government of venezuela and that is why there is only one legitimate president of venezuela in this pe

designating venezuela for t.p.s. even more surprising, the united states is still deporting the people of venezuela. and 2018, they deported more venzuelans. in other words, the trump administration venezuela policy is incowherpt at best. as members of congress we can act consistently with our concerns for the people of venezuela by supporting this bill. his provides us a neck nism to oofer temporary refuge. designating venezuela for t.p.s. will not only ensure the safety and security of thousands of venzuelans but our bipartisan support of a legitimate democratic transition in venezuela. i commend my colleagues for their work and commitment to the vends wail an people and i ask you to support the venezuela t.p.s. act of 2019 and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: mr. collins: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia reserves. ms. lofgren: i would be pleased to yield three minutes to the sponsor of the bill, the gentleman from florida, mr. soto. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from flori

if they keep in venezuela, they are going to die. we know that the best solution it is take off maduro from the power in venezuela. >> nawaz: what is brazil prepared to do to try to get him to leave, to force thage? >> we're trying to change, to do a twist with the militaries side of venezuela. >> nawaz: is brazil prepared to use military force if necessary, if maduro doest leave? >> if venezuela attacks brazil, it changes, because we need to defend ourselves. but, in this first moment, we are not thinking to use the force, the military of brazilian forces against the military forces of maduro. >> nawaz: nearly all venezuelani entering bcome through a port of entry in the northern brazilian state of roraima. once they arrive, they're processed, given identity cards, and then wait for a spot in one of two refugee camps i small border town of pacaraima. brazil's army, a powerful institution here, is running this camp, a sprawling tent city now housing about 500 men, women, and children from venezuela. the man in charge: lieutenant colo

venezuela imports a lot little through exports public debt ratio is among the highest in the world. the i.m.f. estimates government debt could reach over 200 percent of g.d.p. this year. 2016 saw the start of the food supply crisis since then the government has been handing out care packages to the poorest there is hardly anything to buy in the shops or anything ordinary people can afford the 3rd cause of the crisis inflation. people in venezuela spend a lot of time standing in line at banks so sure people are employed and those who are still can't afford even the basics. the i.m.f. also predicts that the inflation rate could soar to an annual 10000000 percent this year. as revenues collapsed president nicolas maduro started to print more and more money and turned the venezuelan currency collapsed and the black market flourished. there's no conflict in the supermarkets but you can get it on the black market where it costs 2 or 3 times as much. as that because of corruption yes it is where do the black marketeers get their goods.

last year i went to venezuela. it was my first time. and i met with president nicholas miew did mu du jouro -- muduro, and i said if you have the election you plan to have it will not be durable and you will find many will reject the outcome. have a real election, a free election. venezuela needs it not just from a constitutional viewpoint but your economy is in shambles and if you want the world to join you in building the venezuelan economy, you have to be the credible leader and you can't be if you go through this election as planned. that was my speech. it didn't work. he had the election as he had planned it. he made sure that his opponents were under house arrest or in jail. he fixed the vote and declared himself a winner and no one accepted it. and so across the world you find this resistance to his leadership. there are some 70,000 people from venezuela in the united states. they are here on visitors' visas, work visas, student visas, similar capacities. they are being asked now to return to venezuela. but listen to the circumst

that is to say the change in venezuela. secondly, how many venezuelans can we accept in colombia, it's impossible to tell. how many can be received, it's impossible to teli the main p is getting more support doing what can and help the change in venezuela back to democracy and freedom. >> woodruff: many say think president maduro can wait it out. wait itut after all he has the support of the cubans, russians, chinese. are these skeptics right. >> he doesn't have the support of the venezuelans. the point is a change in venezuela. the point is that thupe sport from the region. this is a regional issues not al glssue. this is regional issue to solve regionally as wel >> woodruff: it hasn't worked yet. >> not yet because of the supression. at the beginning of the year nobody talked abouthe interim president being recognized close to sixty countries. now he is. >> woodruff: let me ask you about something else. the president assessor of the president, president santos sied a pece agreement 2016 with the rebels. lear we a two and

venezuela has been in a deep economic and political crisis for years it was once considered rich and it still has the world's largest proven oil reserves of the 6 large refineries in the country only one is working petrol is running short one of the main problems is venezuela's dependency on oil which accounts for over 90 percent of export. revenues were great as long as the oil price was high. things went bad until 2008 the price of oil had been rising for a decade then it collapsed and has not enjoyed a sustained recovery since that time. with oil revenues slashed venezuela lacks the hard currency to buy food and medicine abroad manufacturing within the country has also collapsed the private sector has been under siege a further cool's of the crisis. chavez who was president until 2015 pursued a policy he dumped socialism for the 21st century and nationalize thousands of companies and that destroyed the economy. nowadays 70 percent of all goods are imported i get within a mile from to go to name i'm a farmer the land was fertile sadly i had to leave the country because i couldn't g

they are involved in venezuela. so they are not our friends. interesting you mention venezuela.lorida, with significant venezuelan xl population, you have followed it, very clearly, you appear to be very unhappy that the us administration, having talk very tough about the need for nicolas maduro to go has failed to follow through. you said recently "i absolutely do believe we should dictate a few things to the russians, the cubans, and the chinese. we will not allow you to set up shop in venezuela. and, to be clear, high respect those who are cautious about the dangers of military intervention, but it is time to acknowledge that in action can bejust time to acknowledge that in action can be just as dangerous."|j time to acknowledge that in action can be just as dangerous." i have two concerns. i have been to the border of venezuela and colombia. if you talk to the families there, all these kids, these kids are dying, they're starving, nipping starve to death. they can't get food on can't get clea n death. they can't get food on can't get clean water, they can't get medicine. if

lou: venezuela.ll but disappearing from the washington consciousness, we have not heard from bolton on venezuela or from pompeo. meanwhile could guaido is receding farther and farther to the margins, where are we headed here i? >> this is troubling. it looks like opposition to maduro was developing. whether it be countries around venezuela getting involved, we were encouraging the opposition, but for whatever reason the opposition leader in venezuela is sort of faltering. i think this goes on for a linger time, maduro stays in power longer about at end was day this is up to people in region to solve. lou: what is troubling is analogue between iran and venezuela. >> mm-hmm. lou: -- one hand, putting your paying in sanctions and impact on its economy. venezuela's economy is far worse. yet there is no change in direction or leadership and no step forward for u.s. policy or initiatives in the country. this becomes highly problematic. >> well, it is -- yes, right. it becomes particularly problematic for c

yes also would like to say a few words about venezuela like. you just heard we've discussed this issue at length it is a crisis that. has attracted the attention of the entire world. and i reminded mr putin that it's there are italian communes as well in venezuela that's why we are very sensitive. to what's happening at any swell.

people in venezuela spend a lot of time standing in line at banks. people are employed and those who are still can't afford even the basics. the i.m.f. also predicts that the inflation rate could soar to an annual 10000000 percent this year. as revenues collapsed president nicolas maduro started to print more and more money and turned the venezuelan currency collapsed and the black market flourished. there's no conflict in the supermarkets but you can get it on the black market where it costs 2 or 3 times as much. as that because of corruption yes it certainly is where do the black marketeers get their goods. when. somebody provides them so the crooks can sell them. on the. corruption also stymies economic development and the ongoing struggle between the government and the opposition further destabilizes the economy venezuela is not merely on the brink of the abyss it's deep within it. example of an israel or shows clearly socialist central planning expropriation very often creates short for supplies energy commodities never enough it seems market fo

this is what it's come to in venezuela. one tenth of the population, one tenth, has fled the country due to economic collapse and government repression. as margaret thatcher once said, the problem with socialcism that eventually you run out of other people's money. mr. speaker, earlier this year, i was fortunate enough to get to the border of colombia and venezuela. in fact, i was with a bipartisan, bicameral delegation to the border. i talked to refugees about the conditions from which they fled. i heard stories of physicians who were performing surgeries with smartphone light because the lights in the operating room went off and on. i heard stories from family members who said that people were dying, their other family members, because they couldn't get penicillin for simple wounds and infections. i saw a woman crossing a river in a wheelchair because she was so desperately seeking medical attention. it was truly heartbreaking. to this day, over three million venezuelans have fled for colombia. while the ruthless maduro r

we need those for monitoring the situation in venezuela. also for the global counternarc cotic fight. that's our number one asset to detect that flow so we are short of asset, yes, senator. >> thank you for that. that's very helpful. let me ask you about our mill-to-mill contacts which you've discussed. they seem to be in your region relatively narrow focused and at the small unit level. i'm wondering, do you feel our training events with our partner nations are focused at the right level and are they having the effect that you think they should be? >> we are -- we do know cuss at the unit level and basic blocking tackling rightly start there is but also have some high-end exercise with our very capable partners so we just completed unitos, the largest the united states has, 60 years, the 60th year our very capable chilean partners led it and hosted it an were in command of that exercise. 12 nations in that exercise from around the globe, observers from the uk and others and ships from ecuador and very capable high-end exercise. at the same

how would you characterize the actions of kremlin forces in venezuela? is it just regular training or is it something more nefarious? >> senator, we've consistently seen the way russia manipulates media around the world. at one point in february for my full senate armed services committee hearing, about a week before the hearing i was here doing pre-hearing office calls and i came out to the news that russian state tv was reporting my appearance near the border. i think that states russia's approach overall to accuracy. there are russian troops, defense contractors, their presence in the hundreds in venezuela. they are supporting the maduro regime. they are keeping russian gear operable. they are conducting a full range of activities you would expect a foreign power to do to prop up their puppet regime. thank you, admiral. >> senator holly. >> thank you for being here. is it fair to say that one key russian and chinese objective is to reduce united states influence and access? is. think it i think for russia we'll characterize as almost a wounded bear wa
