Presidential Determination on Assistance to Venezuela Consistent With the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000
Signed June 26, 2026, printed at 91 FR 41519. 97 words.
A law ties aid to how hard a state fights human trafficking. This applies it to Venezuela.
What It Says
Memorandum for the Secretary of State Following Presidential Determination 2026-02 of November 21, 2025, and consistent with section 110(d)(4) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7107(d)(4)) (the ``Act''), I hereby determine that providing the assistance described in section 110(d)(1)(B) of the Act to Venezuela would promote the purposes of the Act or is otherwise in the national interest of the United States. You are authorized and directed to submit this determination and the Memorandum of Justification, on which I have relied, to the Congress, and to publish this determination in the Federal Register.
What a Determination Is
A determination is a finding a statute requires the President to make before something can happen: that a country qualifies, that a waiver is justified, that a transfer is in the national interest.
