Let me tell you what I found on this trip. The United States blockade of Cuba is crushing the Cuban people. We are hurting the very people we profess to care about. And We are not doing so for national security reasons, but for political reasons. Here's what I saw. Our blockade is inhumane. Food, medicine, fuel for energy, literally everything you need to live and thrive is blocked by us. And it's not just us. (00:19–00:25)
CLAIM
