I am pleased that President Obama has heeded the calls of myself and other Members of Congress who wrote him this month urging fundamental changes in U.S. policy towards Cuba. There are still significant human rights violations in Cuba that need to be addressed, but this move will allow us to take proactive steps towards pro-democracy changes, rather than continuing with failed punitive policies. I look forward to the day when we have a normalized economic and political relationship with Cuba.” Earlier this month, Rep. Polis joined thirty-five other Members of Congress in sending a letter to the President urging him to improve and update the US relationship with Cuba. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
