Marco Rubio: “To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time.”

The purpose of making a deal is to have better rates than what you have now.

We do not want to be overly dependent on any country in the world.

Suffice it to say that once this deal is done, it has to be one that’s beneficial to both countries.

We’re never going to allow Cuba to become a base of operation against American interests or pose a threat to our national security. On that we are abundantly clear.
