Plain-English Summary

The bill would prohibit U.S. taxpayer money—including federal funds, loans, and investments—from being used to finance or support corporate investments in Venezuelan oil production and related industries. This would prevent government agencies and federally-backed financial institutions from funding American companies that want to do business in Venezuela's oil sector. The measure targets concerns about U.S. money indirectly supporting Venezuela's government and economy during periods of political tension.
