Mr. Speaker, the President's failing visit to Cuba was dismissed by the Communist foreign minister, who declared ``under no circumstance is the realization of internal changes in Cuba on the negotiation table.'' Since the President's outreach to the Castro dictatorship, the consequence has been a surge in dissident arrests of patriots who overestimated the hope and change that a relationship might bring. Sadly, by doing business with the Castro regime, the benefits of trade will not reach the Cuban people. It will enrich the Cuban military, which stole about 70 percent of companies in the most profitable industries. This failure follows the Iranian nuclear deal, providing over $100 billion to a regime that proclaims ``death to America'' and ``death to Israel.'' By failing to stop ISIL-Daesh, the President's legacy has led to Syrians fleeing, children drowning at sea, and chemical weapons attacks killing Iraqi children in their homes. The President can still change course to promote a strong America with peace through strength. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
