“For decades, Washington’s economic war on Cuba has weakened a government that has arguably been our most reliable security partner in the Caribbean. Instead of increasing America’s leverage, tougher sanctions have made Cuba less stable—and the United States less secure—by destabilizing the island’s economy, accelerating unprecedented migration to the U.S. border, undermining counternarcotics efforts, hurting U.S. companies, and incentivizing closer relations with Russia and China. A truly failed Cuban state just 90 miles from our coast would probably generate even greater blowback. Current Cuba policy is rooted not in our core national interests, but in Cold War nostalgia and Florida politics.” (01/25/26)
