English/ Español: Rubio Welcomes Cuba’s Redesignation as State Sponsors of Terrorism
Miami, FL – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. State Department will redesignate Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. In April 2015, Rubio condemned former President Barack Obama’s decision to remove the Cuban regime from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
“For far too long we have seen the cozying up of the Castro regime, now ruling under its puppet Miguel Díaz-Canel, with designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations such as the dissident elements of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and members of the National Liberation Army (ELN). It’s no secret that Raúl Castro and Miguel Díaz-Canel are providing a safe haven to terrorists and are actively propping up malign actors in our region. Today’s reversal is long overdue and one for which I long have called. The incoming Biden Administration should follow this policy and continue to hold the Cuban regime accountable for its destabilizing activities in our Hemisphere.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
RUBIO APLAUDE LA REDESIGNACIÓN DE CUBA COMO UN ESTADO PATROCINADOR DEL TERRORISMO
Miami, FL – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado luego que el Secretario de Estado Mike Pompeo anunciara que el Departamento de Estado redesignará a Cuba como un Estado Patrocinador del Terrorismo. En abril del 2015, Rubio condenó la decisión del expresidente Barack Obama de sacar al régimen cubano de la lista de paises patrocinadores del terrorismo.
“Por demasiado tiempo hemos visto cómo el régimen de los Castro, el cual ahora es gobernando bajo el mando de su títere Miguel Díaz-Canel, acoge a organizaciones terroristas extranjeras como las disidencias de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) y a miembros del Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN). No es ningún secreto que Raúl Castro y Miguel Díaz-Canel están dandoles refugio a terroristas y están activamente apoyando a los regímenes antidemocráticos en nuestra región. La reversión de hoy tuvo que haber ocurrido mucho antes y lo he pedido en repetidas ocasiones. La administración entrante debería seguir esta línea en su política hacia la isla y continuar responsabilizando al régimen cubano por sus actividades desestabilizadoras en nuestro hemisferio”.
Rubio es el Presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
