Moreover, Rep. Rashida Tlaib's legislative attempt to make it easier for Cuba to import food grown by U.S. farmers was"We fear that the significant recovery efforts needed in Matanzas will push an already resource-strapped Cuba closer to the brink," said Meeks, Lee, and McGovern, the respective chairs of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations, and the House Rules Committee.
"Now is the time to put politics aside and prioritize humanitarian engagement, environmental protection, and regional cooperation," they added. Just Foreign Policy applauded the lawmakers' statement. The progressive advocacy group hopes that Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian Nichols, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Emily Menrala will"do the right thing" by swiftly distributing aid.
