Authoritarian regimes, transnational criminal organizations, and harmful influence campaigns led by Beijing and Moscow are destabilizing the Western Hemisphere and posing direct risks to our national security interests.
In response, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations passed the Western Hemisphere Security Strategy Act of 2022. The bipartisan bill, introduced by U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), would propose an increase in bilateral and multilateral security cooperation in the Western Hemisphere, as well as a push to disrupt and counter illicit narcotics trafficking.
“Adversaries like Beijing and Moscow continue to expand their influence and presence in our region. The resulting rise in anti-American dictators has devastating consequences for the entire hemisphere. Crime, drugs, illegal immigration, and human smuggling are skyrocketing. The risk cannot be understated, and the United States must work with fellow democracies in the region to prevent further destabilization.” — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio
“I am very proud to see the Senate Foreign Relations Committee come together to approve this common sense legislation in recognition of the significant fraying of democratic consensus in the Americas. As destabilizing dictatorships and foreign states’ malign influence continue to pose significant challenges to our country and our hemisphere, this legislation represents another important step forward in helping restore the defense of democracy as a central pillar of U.S. foreign policy.” — U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations

LEGISLACIÓN DE RUBIO Y MENÉNDEZ PARA IMPULSAR LA PARTICIPACIÓN DE SEGURIDAD DE EE.UU. EN EL HEMISFERIO AVANZA
Los regímenes autoritarios, las organizaciones criminales transnacionales y las campañas de influencia dañina lideradas tanto por Pekín como por Moscú, están desestabilizando el hemisferio occidental y representan riesgos directos a nuestros intereses de seguridad nacional.
En respuesta a esto, el Comité de Relaciones Exteriores del senado de EE.UU. aprobó la Ley de Estrategia de Seguridad del Hemisferio Occidental del 2022. El proyecto de ley bipartidista, presentado por los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Bob Menendez (D-NJ), propondría un aumento en la cooperación de seguridad bilateral y multilateral en el hemisferio occidental, así como un impulso para interrumpir y contrarrestar el tráfico de narcóticos ilícitos.
“Adversarios como Pekín y Moscú continúan expandiendo su influencia y presencia en nuestra región. El aumento de dictadores anti-americanos tiene consecuencias devastadoras para todo nuestro hemisferio. Los indicies de crimen, drogas, migración ilegal y la trata de personas, están por las nubes. El riesgo no puede subestimarse, y EE.UU. debe trabajar con otras democracias en la región para evitar una mayor desestabilización”. — senador estadounidense Marco Rubio
“Me enorgullece ver al Comité de Relaciones Exteriores del Senado unirse para aprobar este proyecto de sentido común en reconocimiento del deterioro significativo del consenso democrático en las Américas. A medida que las dictaduras desestabilizadoras y la influencia maligna de actores extranjeros siguen presentando desafíos a nuestro país y a nuestro hemisferio, este proyecto de ley representa otro importante paso adelante para ayudar a restaurar la defensa de la democracia como un pilar central de la política exterior de los Estados Unidos”. — senador estadounidense Bob Menéndez, presidente del Comité de Relaciones Exteriores en el senado de EE.UU.
