Rubio takes Biden to task for blocking IDB loan to Guyana shore base project

Marco Rubio

A US senator has taken the Biden administration to task for its failure to support energy projects in Guyana via its vote at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

The senator in question, Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote to President Joe Biden on March 25 expressing concern over his administration’s veto of IDB loans to local energy projects and willingness to instead confer with authoritarian, undemocratic regimes.

Rubio, among other portfolios, is a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and Ranking Member of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere.
