In speech, Rubio slams Obama’s outreach to Iran and Cuba

And Rubio said that Obama has misplace his priorities when it comes to Cuba and Iran – by focusing his criticisms at Republicans like himself who oppose resuming diplomatic relations with Cuba and his nuclear deal with Iran, instead of attacking the leaders of their repressive governments.

As president, he promised to undo both.

Rubio said the olive branch approach to foreign policy would end under his presidency.

Partovi, who has invested in or advised some of the most well-known global companies, including Facebook, Airbnb, and Uber, invited fellow Iranian-Americans to his home to celebrate the agreement, which if implemented, would restrict Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for lifting economic sanctions on the country.

“The deal with Iran isn’t a deal at all“. “Yet weakness and concession are the preferred tools of statecraft for this administration“.

One of the foremost authorities on this issue is Republican presidential candidate, Sen.

Rubio, a Florida senator and the son of Cuban immigrants, also lashed out at the repression of dissidents under the Castro regime. “I will undertake a three-part plan to roll back President Obama’s deal with Iran and fix the damage done to America’s standing in the Middle East”, said Rubio, CNN reported.

The Obama administration has said it is normalizing ties with Cuba after more than 50 years of hostility failed to shake the communist government’s hold on power.

“Hillary Clinton not only supports these two deals, she now brags about her instrumental role in bringing them to fruition”.

He has been quick to deal with the oppressors, but slow to deal with the oppressed.

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio on Friday pledged to reverse the Obama administration’s steps toward normalization of U.S.-Cuban relations and suggested American business interests wouldn’t be an obstacle because he doesn’t envision U.S. companies having “major” contracts and investments on the island nation by 2017.

“President Obama has made no such effort to stand on the side of freedom”. (Mr. Obama and Democrats have argued opening diplomatic channels to Cuba will encourage democracy there.).

That’s because rather than “anywhere, anytime” inspections, Iran will have 24 days to comply with requests from the worldwide Atomic Energy Agency to visit a suspected undeclared site, during which Iran can move, hide, or destroy evidence of its nuclear progress. Chuck Schumer for coming out against the deal.

Mr. Obama is desperately trying to secure congressional approval for the accord.

I will also ask Congress to pass crushing new measures that target human rights abuses and the sponsorship of terrorism. “I will give the mullahs a choice: either you have an economy or you have a nuclear program, but you can not have both”.

And he would impose “crippling” sanctions back on Iran, and will demand that Iran “terminate” their nuclear program. In a column for the Palm Beach Post, Hastings wrote that he would also introduce a bill authorizing the president to use military force to block Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
