House Democrat Blames Trump for Cuba Uprising, Calls on Biden to Aid the Cuban Government

"I call on President Biden to help alleviate the suffering in Cuba by rescinding the Trump era sanctions and offering additional humanitarian and vaccine assistance to the Cuban people."

"I'd try to reverse the failed Trump policies that inflicted harm on Cubans and their families," Biden said in September 2020.

"It would be a grievous mistake because it would show that they simply are not hearing the voices and will of the Cuban people. People deeply, deeply, deeply tired of the repression that has gone on for far too long, tired of the mismanagement of the Cuban economy, tired of the lack of adequate food and, of course, an adequate response to the Covid pandemic. That is what we are hearing and seeing in Cuba. And that is a reflection of the Cuban people, not of the United States or any other outside actor."

U.S. media outlets are claiming that it is Trump's embargo on Cuba that is the reason for the Cuban people's plight and the subsequent uprising.

The Cuban government instituted brutal crackdowns, including arrests of at least 100 protesters.

Donald Trump issue a statement of support for the Cuban people, while blasting Biden for failing to stand up to the Communist regime.

"Big demonstrations are breaking out in Cuba and Miami in protest of the Communist Cuban Government," Trump stated.
