WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Biden Administration announced sanctions against Russian officials for the attempted murder and jailing of opposition leader Alexei Navalny:
Today’s airstrike demonstrates President Biden’s resolve to prevent Iran from targeting America’s personnel and allies with impunity.
I wholeheartedly agree with President Biden's decision to impose sanctions on individuals responsible for Myanmar's military coup. 
I am encouraged that President Biden is taking steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, exacerbated by Iran’s actions, by rebalancing our engagement in a way that, hopefully, will lead to dialogue and a cease fire so relief aid can make it to suffering civilians. 
The coup in Myanmar yesterday was an illegitimate seizure of power and ought to be condemned by the international community. 
Today's announcement is a hasty move intended to undermine the incoming Biden Administration.  It ought to surprise no one that this comes just days after President Trump fired top Pentagon officials who stood against his counterproductive plans.  
News that Russia and Iran were able to access voter databases is not only deeply disturbing, it demands action.
