WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following response to President Barack Obama’s announcement today that he plans to change the United States’ policy toward Cuba:
“I oppose this move, and I believe it is a mistake. It’s hard – if not impossible – to normalize relations with a Castro-led Cuba. And I don’t see anything in the president’s announcement to persuade me otherwise.
“Under this administration’s foreign policy agenda, our friends are concerned and our adversaries are encouraged. We’ll see how far the president wants to go with his Cuba proposal, but I have no confidence in this move based on his foreign policy record thus far.”
