Rubio, Scott Introduce Resolution Condemning Cuban Regime
The illegitimate Cuban regime has made Cuba a safe haven for Communist China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. This poses a direct threat, just 90 miles from our shores, to our national security interests, and the stability of our region. The United States must continue to defend democracy and defend the rights of the Cuban people.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced a resolution calling for accountability of the Cuban regime’s heinous crimes against its citizens:
- “The world is bearing witness to the multiple ways the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime has served as a puppet for Communist China, Iran, and most recently Russia. America has a moral duty to defend our nation’s interests and we must continue to uphold democratic order and justice in our hemisphere.” – Senator Rubio
- “The illegitimate Communist Cuban regime is a destabilizing force in the Western Hemisphere, a safe harbor to terrorists, a friend to America’s enemies, an oppressor of the Cuban people and violator of human rights. Sadly, that hasn’t stopped the Biden-Harris administration from chasing the same weak appeasement policies prioritized by Obama for this State Sponsor of Terrorism, which have done nothing but strengthen the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime. As we speak, Cuban military thugs are being used to prop up puppets like Maduro and repress the Venezuelan people. The United States must take a stand, and I’m proud to join my colleagues in this resolution to make clear we will NOT condone the illegitimate communist Cuban regime’s human rights abuses and will use the full force of our government to hold them accountable. I stand with the brave Cuban people and will never forget their fight.” – Senator Scott
Representative María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) introduced a companion resolution in the House.
