Sen. Rick Scott to Pres. Trump: Urge Prince Charles to Cut Ties with Cuba

May 21, 2019

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Rick Scott released the following statement ahead of President Trump’s planned meeting with Prince Charles in the UK next month.

Senator Rick Scott said, “Prince Charles’ recent trip to Cuba is in direct conflict with Prime Minister May’s recognition of Juan Guaidó as the legitimate leader of Venezuela. The UK cannot support freedom in Venezuela while at the same time supporting Cuba - the most powerful force propping up Nicolas Maduro as he starves and kills his own people. I’m calling on European nations to unite against dictators and cut off ties with Cuba. President Trump should ask Prince Charles to end his support for Cuba and join the United States in the fight for freedom.”
