Dexter details Cuba fuel crisis after July 2026 delegation, urges end to embargo
Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) addresses the House after a July 2026 congressional delegation visit to Cuba. She describes the effects of US policy on fuel imports, electricity, daily life, and healthcare access. The speech references Obama-era normalization reversed in 2017, Trump's January 2025 actions, a 2026 executive order targeting oil suppliers, hospital conditions observed in Havana, Cuba's free healthcare system, and support for Rep. McGovern's legislation to lift the embargo while opposing military action.
