Wilson Statement on U.S. Restoring Diplomatic Relations with Cuba

Statement

Congressman Joe Wilson issued the following statement after the United States and Cuba restored diplomatic relations today:

"By restoring full diplomatic relations with an oppressive regime, President Obama is throwing the Cuban communist dictatorship a lifeline. Since the United States cut ties with Cuba 54 years ago, the communist governments of the Soviet Union and Venezuela have supported the Cuban regime--the same regime that imprisons and oppresses pro-democracy protestors. The best course is for America to support Cuban patriots that want change," Wilson said.
