Eliot Engel: “We strongly believe that having an Embassy in Havana will enable us to do more things that help us more effectively…”

Why have there been no designations by us of Russian companies and individuals who are so clearly and shamelessly giving Assad a lifeline?

I particularly want to thank Chairman Engel for his leadership, as well as the whole committee, for making the Caesar Act a reality.

We like to say that the Foreign Affairs Committee... is the most bipartisan committee in Congress.

This legislation, passed into law last December, mandates the most sweeping sanctions on Assad's enablers.
