Huizenga Delivers Unanimous Vote in U.S. House to Sanction Military Junta in Burma

Published | Video Starts at 00:17

Thank you Mr. Speaker and Mr. Chairman for the opportunity to speak on my bill, HR 3190, the brave Burma Act. I rise in support of this and ask for its immediate consideration. Burma is a country in profound crisis. In February of 2021, a military led junta toppled a democratically elected government and plunged [Burma] into civil war. These actions, coupled with the March 2025 earthquake created a humanitarian crisis that has left tens of thousands of Burmese dead or detained. (00:17–00:26)
