Statement of U.S. Rep Jim McGovern on Cuba

Statement

Date: May 31, 2013
Issues: National Security Foreign Affairs

"I am deeply disappointed that the State Department has failed to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, and disappointed in this report. It is in our national interest that the annual report on terrorism and state sponsors of terrorism be a meaningful document. The flimsy reasons outlined in the report makes a mockery of the document, diminish its value, and undermine US global leadership. Once again, unfortunately, domestic politics has trumped sensible foreign policy."
