Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States

July 11, 2023

On the anniversary of the July 11 protests in Cuba, Joe Biden has betrayed the Cuban people and surrendered Cuba to Communist China. By allowing China to sink their teeth into the island and establish military bases 90 miles off our shore, something unthinkable, Biden not only risks our own national security, but he abandons the dream of freedom for those many amazing Cuban Americans who under my administration, were going to get their wish.

 

Today, we also ask God to strengthen and watch over all the political prisoners and protestors being cruelly held captive by this evil regime. Three years ago, the Cuban nightmare was ready to end. The Biden administration has given it up - but I will get it back again. We pray for the day when all of Cuba will be free.
