And then he also said that they want to see the leaders of Cuba change.
So as former President Joe Biden was leaving office, his administration did a deal with Cuba that called for the release of more than 500 prisoners there, political prisoners.
And it also removed Cuba from the state sponsor of terrorist and gave Cuba a six month waiver from that embargo that I was talking about before.
On the first day of the Trump administration, President Trump came in and he rescinded a lot of the actions that Biden had taken, not just with respect to Cuba, but with respect to a number of other things, too.
So that's a big difference between the Trump administration and the Biden administration.
It's important here to note that when Rubio was asked about the embargo, he himself didn't exactly weigh in on it.
He noted that it is something that Congress has codified.
And he also said that for the embargo to be lifted, there would have to be political change inside of Cuba.
Rubio has called Cuba a disaster, and the president has said that a deal is being negotiated here.
But as a yes, as you noted before, you know, the Trump administration has been careful not to say anything
publicly exactly what it is talking to the cuban government and the castro specifically about what diaz canal has said is that they are having talks with the administration that came after we had already known though that that rubio was negotiating with the castros francesca might we see a peaceful transition here as cuba made its demands clear
So for a long time, the Cuban government has had a red line about its form of government, its system of government and political change inside of the country.
At the same time, they want to see the embargo lifted.
They think that the embargo is illegal.
They say it's a violation of international law.
But in order for that embargo to be lifted,
Congress would have to take action.
It is, in fact, as Rubio has said, been codified into law by Congress.
And there are certain things that they'd have to do according to the law.
It also calls for there to be free speech, freedom of expression inside of Cuba, as well as elections that have multi-party opposition or at least credible steps towards those kind of elections.
