Hillary Clinton- Hillary Clinton is for Obama’s actions in Cuba because she feels that the embargo was “holding back the broader agenda across Latin America”
Jeb Bush- Jeb Bush believes that what Obama is doing is a misstep and it is undermining the quest for a free and democratic Cuba
Ted Cruz- Ted Cruz is against lifting the U.S. embargo on Cuba and believes that the Castros will exploit the situation and undermine America more
Lindsey Graham- Says he will do all in his power to block the use of funds to open an embassy in Cuba
Bobby Jindal- Says that Obama “has no strategy for leading on an international stage” and his policy towards Cuba is endangering national security and the American people
I personally think that the decision by Obama is the step in the right direction towards making a change but I also recognize that there is some debate and possible issues with the exact amount of help we should give to Cuba. I think that slowly becoming involved in close relations and help with Cuba will be an effective way to improve their overall status as a nation.
