Biden Expresses Support for the People of Cuba and Haiti
President Biden on Monday expressed support for the people of Cuba and Haiti amid unrest in both countries
“The Cuban people are demanding their freedom from an authoritarian regime. I don’t think we’ve seen anything like these protests in a long, long time if, quite frankly, ever,” Biden told reporters in his first on-camera remarks since demonstrations broke out on the island nation over the weekend.
“The U.S. stands firmly with the people of Cuba as they assert their universal rights,” Biden said. “And we call on the government of Cuba to refrain from violence in their attempt to silence the voices of the people of Cuba.”
