Venezuela Democratic Transition Strategy Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State to give Congress a strategy to support a democratic transition in Venezuela within 180 days of the bill becoming law. The strategy must describe U.S. diplomatic efforts, plan for the release of people arbitrarily detained in Venezuela, and describe efforts to curb the influence of Cuba, Russia, Iran, and China in Venezuela's military, security services, and government. It must also plan how U.S. foreign aid would support the Venezuelan people and describe support for Venezuelan civil society groups such as independent media and human rights defenders. The Secretary would report to Congress on progress each year for several years and consult with congressional committees twice a year.
