The number of Americans now affected by similar health effects in Cuba is 26. The health and well-being of our personnel remains our top priority here at @StateDept, and we continue to work diligently to determine the cause of the symptoms, as well as develop mitigation measures.

We call on the Government of #Cuba to release Eduardo Cardet, Ariel Ruiz Urquiola, all political prisoners & to respect #humanrights of the Cuban people. The U.S. condemns the arbitrary detention of independent thinkers who peacefully criticize authority. go.usa.gov/xUaZq

(2/2)...Castro’s recent handpicked successor will not stifle the Cuban people’s resolute pursuit of freedom. We recognize the countless contributions of Cuban-Americans to our Nation, and we will stand in solidarity with the Cuban people. #VivaCubaLibre

The United States once again stands with the Cuban people in their stand for freedom. No longer will our dollars fund Cuba’s military, security, & intelligence services — the core of that despotic regime. In this administration, we stand & we will always say Que Viva Cuba Libre.

How many of you recognize this guy? Oswaldo Dorticos was president of Cuba from 1959 to 1976. No wonder you didn't know; the presidency didn't count, because Fidel ruled. Keep that in mind when you hear that putting a non-Castro in the presidency is hugely significant.

At @SummitAmericas, my message was clear: Now is the time for Western Hemisphere nations to truly become a “Hemisphere of Freedom.” That’s why the U.S stands w/ the people of Cuba & Venezuela & stands up to their oppressors. Read my op-ed in @MiamiHerald: miamiherald.com/opinion/op-e…
