Trump Vowed to Undo Obama’s “Concessions” to Castro Regime
Moreover, the Republican candidate stated that he is willing to break relations with the Cuban regime, undoing President Barack Obama’s new policy toward the communist Caribbean nation.
“All of the concessions Barack Obama has granted the Castro regime were done through executive order — which means the next president can reverse them. And that I will do unless the Castro regime meets our demands,” Trump said. “Those demands will include religious and political freedom for the Cuban people, and the freeing of political prisoners.”
“We will stand with the Cuban people in their fight against communist oppression,” Trump said in a speech that the media have categorized as an attempt to attract the Latino vote.
