President Trump is sticking to his word, saying the U.S. will not lift sanctions on Cuba.
He made the comments from the east room of the White House Friday as he hosted a celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month.
This comes after the Trump administration ordered to expel 15 Cuban diplomats from the Washington embassy following unexplained attacks on U.S. diplomats in Havana.
The president says sanctions will continue until Cuba gives political freedom to its people.
“The same failed communist ideology that has brought oppression to Cuba has brought nothing but suffering and misery everywhere and every place it has been anywhere in the world,” President Trump stated. “Communism is the past. Freedom is the future.”
The president went on to stress the importance of the Hispanic community, and specifically praised Hispanic business owners for their contribution to our economy.
He also highlighted recovery efforts in Puerto Rico, and said America will not rest until Puerto Rico is back on its feet.
