Florida Congresswoman: Other Nations’ Engagement Hasn’t Resulted in Free Cuba

Kate Scanlon •   December 19, 2014

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., was interviewed on Wednesday by Greta van Susteren about President Obama’s decision to normalize relations with Cuba.

Ros-Lehtinen said that the president “has broken the law.”

When asked if our previous policy towards Cuba had been working, Ros-Lehtinen said:

Has our foreign policy been working? Well, the policy of 190 other countries who have been wheeling and dealing and going to tourist trips and doing everything with Castro, they have not brought Cuba any closer to freedom or democracy. So it’s not that the United States policy has not worked, the other policy of engagement has not worked.

Ros-Lehtinen said that Obama’s desire to normalize relations with Cuba “will not bring the Cuban people any closer to democracy.”

According to Ros-Lehtinen, the policy shift will only result in a change on our side.

“The one that will not change is the Cuban, communist, dictatorial, authoritarian regime,” said Ros-Lehtinen. “These guys are not going to change.”
