June 19, 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) and Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) made the following statement after President Trump announced that he will be rolling back several key aspects of U.S. diplomatic relations with Cuba, including the reinstatement of severe travel restrictions for American tourists and broad limitations on financial transactions. His actions come despite overwhelming public support of President Obama's 2016 accord with Cuba, including broad support among Cuban-Americans.
