I believe that your amendment should not be considered.

We cannot give the Castro regime an inch and we are one bad decision away from Russia reopening the Lourdes spy base in Cuba, only 90 miles off the coast of the United States.

Cuba remains on the State sponsor of terrorism list because the communist regime continues to support acts of terror.

President Biden caved to the Cuban regime's request for U.S. foreign assistance, permitting the regime to re-allocate funds toward its oppressive institutions.

It is time for a more carrots-based approach to the challenges being faced on the island.

We do not need to impose an inaccurate terror designation to signal our disapproval.

So the terrorism list is for terrorist States. If Cuba is a terrorist State, it should be on the list.

So I encourage all of my colleagues to support this bill and continue to hold Cuba accountable for their bad acts until such time as they can finally see the light and treat their own residents, their own citizens, with the dignity and the…

I am firmly committed to this bill.

I have supported this assistance because a victory by Putin in Ukraine would further embolden America's adversaries from Chairman Xi in Beijing to the Ayatollah in Tehran to Kim Jong-un in North Korea.

It is unfortunate that some misunderstand strong oversight that is somehow at odds with strong U.S. support for Ukraine's self-defense against Putin's brutal, illegal invasion.
