What we’re not going to allow ever under any circumstances as long as President Trump is President is we’re never going to allow Cuba to become a base of operation against American interests or pose a threat to our national security.

The truth is Cuba has already fallen. It’s not – it doesn’t have a functional economy and it’s governed by people who continue to preach about some revolution that has been dead for 20 years that’s never worked.

They are a strategic defense partner.

We will live up to those commitments. We are living up to those commitments now.
