Commending President Trump, his administration, and the brave men and women of the Armed Forces, Intelligence Community, and Justice Department for the remarkable success of "Operation Absolute Resolve".
This resolution (HRES 998) is a symbolic House of Representatives commendation honoring President Trump, U.S. military/intelligence agencies, and Justice Department personnel for the alleged success of "Operation Absolute Resolve" in apprehending Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. It cites Maduro's charges (including narcoterrorism conspiracy) and the Maduro regime's alleged dismantling of Venezuelan democracy, state-sponsored drug trafficking, and human rights abuses. The resolution expresses support for Venezuela's democratic transition but contains no new policy, funding, or legal changes. As a procedural resolution, it does not directly affect any individuals or alter laws.
