Mauricio Claver-Carone: “A strong Chavez is a strong Castro, and a strong Castro is a strong Chavez.”

I believe that if our principle policy, if we are going to export our principles as we said, we should also make sure that we do it under conditions and under terms that are consistent with those principles.

I am not against taking money from Castro. To the contrary, sell him as much as you can. Take his cash.

But I think that brings to an important point is the reason we have these travel-related, tourism-related transactions in Cuba is because it's the Cuban military and security services' number one source of income.

The Cuban dictatorship is working systematically against democratic institutions in Latin America.
