Examples of Washington in a Sentence

1. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro:

   You can't imagine all the pressure that is coming from Washington to ensure the failure of the efforts we have made during the last year to create a common strategy among OPEC and non-OPEC producers to stabilize the market and prices, these are almost war-like pressure on governments, on heads of state.

2. Donald Trump:

   This totally unauthorized notice is yet another example of deceptive Washington tricks used to take advantage of the voters and get money from the hard-working people the politicians have failed, i will not stand for it and neither should you.

3. Rick Scott:

   This isn’t free money. It’s taxpayers’ money. And Democrats are trying to use taxpayer money – with no oversight whatsoever – to buy the support of voters who are rejecting their agenda, it makes my blood boil and should infuriate every American to see how broken Washington is.

4. Carter Page:

   Liars and leakers in Washington and more broadly the political class in United States actually had a much more negative impact, all of the discussions about the influence that the Russian government had on the U.S. election would actually pale in comparison to the much heavier influence that the U.S. government actually had in trying to hurt then-candidate Trump. That negative impact based on these complete lies has continued to put a dark shadow over United States in general.

5. Timothy Dimoff:

   The threats are very credible. And you're coming off a Washington protest that was credible, and let's just call it' successful' in the eyes of protesters, it's going to fuel their confidence that they can continue because we didn't show'em we could control'em.
