"The embargo is absurdly cruel and, like too many other U.S. policies targeting Latin Americans, the cruelty is the point... I outright reject the Biden administration's defense of the embargo. It is never acceptable for us to use cruelty as a point of leverage against every day people... We also must name the U.S. contribution to Cuban suffering: our 60-year-old embargo."
