SEN PETER WELCH: Trump is leading us into another unnecessary war. This time it’s Cuba
Summary
In an opinion piece published by Fox News, Sen. Peter Welch argues that the Trump administration is moving toward an unnecessary conflict with Cuba and should instead pursue negotiations. He says the U.S. should replace the long-running embargo with a deal that encourages investment and improves ties with the island.
Why this matters
U.S. policy toward Cuba has major effects on trade, travel, and the daily lives of Cubans on the island. Debates over the embargo and engagement also shape the broader diplomatic relationship between Havana and Washington.
