Williams reacts to POTUS policy shift toward Cuba | 2014-12-17 | 2014 | 2014-12 | Republican | House | TX | Roger Williams | W000816 | williams.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) issued the following statement after President Obama announced his intentions to change U.S. policy toward Cuba upon the release of Alan Gross, an American hostage held in Cuba for the past five years: “President Obama’s negotiations with the communist regime in Cuba are inexcusable and unfathomable. I remember the Cuban Missile crisis, the decades of human rights abuses, the withholding and covering up of information. These atrocities directly threaten our national security, and Cuba’s leaders should continue to suffer consequences for their brutal actions. President Obama continues to weaken our nation’s standing among our adversaries, and I’m afraid that this policy shift regarding Cuba signals an acceptance of one of the most oppressive and violent regimes in the world.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
