On the recordJanuary 12, 2015
Thank you so much, Mr. DeSantis. You are so right when you categorized this unilateral bad deal as an economic lifeline to the Castro regime. A person who understands that just as well as you do is our next speaker, the gentleman from Iowa, a senior member of the House Committee on Agriculture, Congressman Steve King. He can say: Hey, my State is going to benefit a lot by this deal. The sad reality, as Mr. King and I know, is that Castro doesn't pay his debt. As we had just said with the other speaker, he owes everybody money. This deal will not strengthen U.S. national security. It will not be good for America's farmers, and it will not be good for the people of Cuba. Congressman King.
