McGovern Statement on Biden Administration Voting Against UN General Assembly Resolution Calling For U.S. To End Economic Embargo on Cuba

Press Release

U.S. Congressman James P. McGovern (D-MA), Chairman of the House Rules Committee and Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, released the following statement in response to the Biden administration's vote against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the U.S. to end its decades-long economic embargo on Cuba:

"I am incredibly disappointed by this decision. Continuing Trump's backwards, irrational, and cruel approach to Cuba hurts the U.S. and Cuban people and prevents honest dialogue between our countries. Obama got it--he knew failed Cold-War policy held the U.S. back and he put us on a path toward diplomacy and constructive engagement. I strongly urge President Biden to change course."
