Democratic Representatives Criticize U.S. Sanctions on Cuba as 'Inhumane'
Democratic representatives, including Maxine Dexter from Oregon, have publicly condemned the U.S. sanctions on Cuba, labeling them as 'inhumane.' This criticism follows a visit to Cuba by Dexter and other lawmakers, where they observed the impact of these sanctions firsthand. Dexter, a physician, highlighted the severe shortages of basic surgical supplies faced by Cuban doctors. The representatives argue that the sanctions, which have been in place for decades, are not serving national security interests but are instead politically motivated. They emphasize that these measures are causing significant harm to the Cuban population, with reports of increased infant mortality and decreased cancer survival rates. The lawmakers are urging a reevaluation of the U.S. policy towards Cuba, which they believe is causing unnecessary suffering.
