Halts U.S. investments in Venezuela's energy sector until Maduro recognizes election results.
The Halt All United States Investments in Venezuela’s Energy Sector Act of 2025 prohibits U.S. persons from investing in Venezuela's energy sector until the Maduro regime recognizes the election victory of Edmundo Gonzalez. The bill cites the July 28, 2024, election where Gonzalez won decisively, but Maduro refused to accept the results. Violations of the investment ban carry penalties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The prohibitions end when the President certifies to Congress that Maduro has relinquished power to a legitimate government.
