Bill Clinton: “He will comply eventually or we'll have to see what happens then. It will not be without consequence if he does not…”

On the recordNovember 9, 1997
He will comply eventually or we'll have to see what happens then. It will not be without consequence if he does not comply. China and Cuba Mr. Russert. You met last week with the President of China, a country of 1.5 billion people, 7,000 miles away. Why is it that we meet with the President of China and trade with China but don't meet with the President of Cuba, 90 miles away, a country of 10 million people? Other than the size of the economic market, are there any differences between the two systems?
