Diaz-Balart condemns the Obama Administration continued appeasement to a Terrorist Regime

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) appalled by the Obama Administration's decision to ease sanctions regarding travel and remittance to Cuba. Diaz-Balart states the following:

"Any kind of appeasement toward a terrorist regime is unacceptable and endangers our national security. The Administration should not permit the loosening of these sanctions while the Castro regime holds an American hostage. Appeasement will only empower and promote the regime while hindering the freedom of the Cuban people.

“Every time the Obama Administration has granted the regime new concessions the Cuban people in return get increased repression. The Obama Administration must realize that appeasing to a ruthless dictator is not the answer today, tomorrow, or ever. Rather than channeling additional U.S. dollars to an ailing regime and state sponsor of terror, the administration should focus on strengthening the brave pro-democracy opposition, which continues to gain ground in Cuba. ”
