Mr. Secretary,
So sorry if this information is elsewhere, but I was rather curious about the issue of Venezuela (and Cuba as well).
I'm well aware the latest Foreign Relations Review notes a degree of extended sanctions against the Bolivarian leadership as well as the usual military restrictions (yet not economic ones) against Cuba, but I was curious as to what the Administration was doing or intended to do beyond that.
May I ask what is the overall short and long term policy of the administration regarding Venezuela and Cuba, what efforts are being undertaken to address the grave human rights violations and authoritarian (fully totalitarian in the case of Cuba) nature of these particular nations, and whether the Administration would consider going further than the current level of sanctions?
I would also like to hear the government's view on Venezuela and Cuba
