Rubio: “Capitulation Monday” Proves We’ve Entered Most Dangerous Phase Of Obama Presidency
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement in advance of Monday’s scheduled vote at the United Nations Security Council lifting international sanctions on Iran, as well as the opening of embassies in Washington and Havana as part of the Obama Administration’s re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba:
“History will remember July 20, 2015 as Obama’s Capitulation Monday, the day two sworn enemies of the United States were able to out-maneuver President Obama to secure historic concessions. Monday’s events at the UN, Washington and Havana leave no doubt that we have entered the most dangerous phase of the Obama presidency in which the president is flat-out abandoning America’s vital national security interests to cozy up to the world’s most reprehensible regimes.
“President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is a dangerous and destabilizing failure, and it is telling that he is seeking Russia and China’s seal of approval of his deal before administration officials have even briefed Congress. The stakes are far too high for America’s security to be outsourced to the United Nations.
“President Obama’s concessions to the Castro regime are also deeply troubling. Cuba is not just some small island with old cars; it is a country controlled by a despotic regime that provides a safe haven and base of forward operations to Russia and China in our own hemisphere. It harbors terrorists and fugitives from justice who have killed American citizens and brutalizes peaceful pro-democracy activists. I reiterate my promise to block the confirmation of any ambassador to this despicable regime.
“July 20th will be a powerfully symbolic day for the Obama-Clinton foreign policy legacy, which will be remembered as a dark time in American history when the mullahs in Iran and the thugs in Havana celebrated at America’s expense.”
