What in the heck is going on where we have Congressional members so willing to ignore our National Defense and the safety of all the Cubans awaiting the removal of this regime? This is complicated, and it seems that the action goes counter to her appointment to Congress. If we had a blockade on China, would she help China, over our National Defense?
Intentions don’t matter in this case. It is the rule of law, and it seems Jayapal doesn’t care as she tries to subvert a National Blockade by our military. Why doesn’t she work with Iran to sell its oil to allow it to survive? Get the point? War is hell and always has been, but subversion of our government actions should not be allowed, especially from members of Congress. All IMO.
“Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Monday that she has been in discussions with foreign officials about efforts to supply oil to Cuba, as the island faces mounting shortages under tightened U.S. sanctions. According to Mediaite, while speaking at an event, Jayapal described ongoing conversations with diplomats from Mexico and other Latin American nations, noting that multiple countries are exploring ways to deliver fuel despite increasing pressure from Washington.
“I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there,” she said, emphasizing her sense of urgency of the situation.
The remarks come as the Trump administration intensifies its economic restrictions on Cuba. In January, the president signed an executive order threatening tariffs against any nation that “directly or indirectly” supplies oil to the country. The move has effectively created a de facto embargo.
Jayapal, who visited Cuba last month, characterized the situation as dire. She pointed to a May 1 executive order signed by Trump that expands sanctions further, introducing penalties on foreign banks and companies that engage with Cuba and reinforcing existing restrictions on U.S. tourism.”
