Description

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-FL—whose family fled Fidel Castro’s “illegitimate, murderous regime” in Cuba—joins Margaret Hoover to discuss the country’s current crisis.

The congressman describes the fight for freedom amid government crackdowns on the island, what’s driving the historic protests, why he says the U.S. embargo should remain in place and how international allies can support the Cuban people.
