U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today issued the following statement commending President Trump's decision to stop suspending Title III of the Helms-Burton Libertad Act, holding the Cuban regime accountable for its crimes and ending years of impunity:
"By no longer suspending Title III of the Libertad Act, the Trump administration is ending decades of impunity by the Castro regime. The United States is opening the door to justice and enabling victims of the Cuban dictatorship to rightfully sue their perpetrators. Today, as we commemorate the valor of the fallen heroes in the Bay of Pigs invasion, history is once again being written."
Rubio is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues.
On March 4, 2019, Rubio, U.S. Senator Rick Scott, and U.S.Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart commented on the Trump Administration's decision to hold the communist Cuban regime accountable for crimes.
On November 8th, 2017 Rubio issued a statement in response to the Executive Branch's new regulatory amendments to implement President Trump's National Security Presidential Memorandum of June 2017 for strengthening U.S. policy toward Cuba.
On October 20th, 2017, Rubio urged President Trump to direct the United States to vote against any U.N. General Assembly resolution demanding a change to America's embargo against Cuba, which is codified in U.S. law.
