Their proposal demands swift sanctions from President Donald Trump over alleged civil rights abuses and questionable Bitcoin dealings by the Salvadoran government.<\/p>\n

The legislation highlights concerns about Bukele\u2019s ongoing \u201cstate of exception,\u201d which critics say strips away basic freedoms. Lawmakers also point to El Salvador\u2019s Bitcoin activity, warning that digital assets might be fueling corruption and helping evade global sanctions.<\/p>\n

Sanctions<\/a><\/strong> would freeze assets, restrict visas, and cut off U.S. financial aid. The senators argue that American tax dollars should not support institutions accused of violating international standards.<\/p>\n

Bill Demands Full Crypto Transparency from El Salvador<\/h2>\n

Within 90 days of the bill\u2019s passage, the president must release a list of targeted individuals. Meanwhile, the Secretary of State would need to publish a detailed breakdown of El Salvador\u2019s digital asset usage.<\/p>\n

This report must expose the size of public Bitcoin investments and name the platforms used for transactions. It should also identify wallet addresses, outline who controls the funds, and explore loopholes in the country\u2019s crypto laws. Lawmakers want to determine whether these gaps enable sanctions evasion or misuse of public resources.<\/p>\n
