Senators Vow to Halt Obama’s Castro Odyssey
Lawmakers opposed to President Obama’s sudden move to cozy up to Communist Cuba are vowing a full-court press to prevent official diplomatic recognition of the tropical prison republic from going forward.
But it is far from clear if lawmakers will be able to do much about Obama’s Cuban escapades. Presidents typically enjoy great latitude in foreign policy, especially concerning recognition of foreign governments. Lawmakers are probably on stronger ground in resisting repeal of the trade embargo that has been in place since the 1960s. On the other hand, Obama has a pen and a phone, as he likes to say, a reference to his brazen contempt for the rule of law and the strictures of the Constitution.
“This president has proven today that his foreign policy is more than just naive, it is willfully ignorant of the way the world truly works,” Rubio told reporters Wednesday afternoon, speaking to the press directly after the president’s remarks from the White House. “What these changes are going to do is, they will tighten this regime’s grip on power for decades to come.”
Rubio Leads Opposition to Obama’s Cuba Shift
Several Republican lawmakers blasted President Barack Obama’s decision to reestablish diplomatic ties with Cuba and trade prisoners, even pledging to try to block the president’s plans to normalize relations between the two countries for the first time in over half a century.
The White House announced Wednesday morning that Cuba had released American prisoner Alan Gross, as well as an important intelligence agent and 52 other prisoners, in exchange for three convicted Cuban spies serving sentences in Florida. The U.S. will open an embassy in Havana as well as ease travel restrictions and make it easier for Americans to do business there.
Secretary of State John Kerry will review Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terror. Though the president cannot unilaterally repeal the economic embargo on Cuba, which was enacted by Congress, Obama said he looked forward to working with Congress to lift the embargo.

“This president has proven today that his foreign policy is more than just naive, it is willfully ignorant of the way the world truly works,” Rubio told reporters Wednesday afternoon, speaking to the press directly after the president’s remarks from the White House. “What these changes are going to do is, they will tighten this regime’s grip on power for decades to come.”
Rubio suggested that he would use his position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to block the president’s new policy toward Cuba. “I anticipate I will be the chairman of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee of [the] Foreign Relations [Committee], and I anticipate we are going to have a very interesting couple of years discussing how you’re going to get an ambassador nominated and how you’re going to get an embassy funded,” Rubio said.
“This Congress is not going to lift the embargo,” he added, referring to the 114th Congress, which will begin in January, with both houses controlled by Republicans.
