English/Español: Rubio, Gardner Introduce Amendment to Restrict U.S. Funding to El Salvador
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today joined Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) in introducing an amendment that would restrict U.S. funding to El Salvador. The amendment comes in response to El Salvador’s announcement on Tuesday that they would break diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
“It is extremely disappointing that El Salvador chose to sever diplomatic relations with democratic Taiwan and embrace communist China,” Rubio said. “This is a grave mistake that harms relations with the U.S., and will likely prove to be costly and short-sighted given what we know about China’s ‘debt traps’ and economic exploitation globally. I am pleased to join Senator Gardner in taking steps to block U.S. foreign assistance to El Salvador. The U.S. and other democracies must stand together and reject China’s use of financial bribery and economic coercion to divide us.”
“El Salvador has made the wrong decision regarding Taiwan, and it will negatively influence United States relations with El Salvador,” Gardner said. “I appreciate Senator Rubio for working with me on an amendment to restrict funding to El Salvador, and I urge for it to be included in the final bill. This amendment will send a direct message to Taiwan’s allies that the United States will use every tool to support Taiwan’s standing on the international stage and will stand up to China’s bullying tactics across the world.”
RUBIO, GARDNER PRESENTAN UNA ENMIENDA PARA RESTRINGIR EL FINANCIAMIENTO DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS A EL SALVADOR
Washington, D.C. – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) junto al senador Cory Gardner (R-CO) presentaron hoy una enmienda que restringiría el financiamiento de los Estados Unidos a El Salvador. La enmienda surge en respuesta al anuncio del gobierno de El Salvador este martes de que romperían las relaciones diplomáticas con Taiwán.
“Estoy extremadamente decepcionado de que El Salvador haya decidido romper sus relaciones diplomáticas con Taiwán y haya acogido a la China comunista”, Rubio dijo. “Este es un grave error que daña las relaciones con los Estados Unidos y probablemente resultará costoso y de corto alcance, dado lo que sabemos sobre las ‘trampas de deuda’ y la explotación económica de China a nivel mundial. Me complace unirme al Senador Gardner en tomar medidas para bloquear la asistencia extranjera de los Estados Unidos a El Salvador. Estados Unidos y otras democracias deben unirse y rechazar el uso de soborno financiero y de coerción económica de la China para dividirnos”.
“El Salvador tomó una decisión equivocada con respecto a Taiwán y tendrá una influencia negativa en las relaciones de los Estados Unidos con El Salvador”, Gardner dijo. “Agradezco al Senador Rubio por trabajar conmigo en esta enmienda para restringir el financiamiento a El Salvador, y exhorto a que se incluya en el proyecto de ley final. Esta enmienda enviará un mensaje directo a los aliados de Taiwán de que Estados Unidos utilizará todas las herramientas para apoyar la posición de Taiwán en el escenario internacional y que se enfrentará a las tácticas de acoso de China en todo el mundo “.
