Gov. Walker Statement on President Obama's Latest Concession to Cuba

Madison, Wis. -- Governor Walker today issued the following comment on President Obama's announcement that the U.S. and Cuba will establish full diplomatic relations:

“President Obama’s decision to establish full diplomatic relations with Cuba and open an embassy there is yet another example of his appeasement of dictators. He is foolishly rewarding the brutal Castro dictatorship and selling out the Cuban people. Given his track record of retreat, should we expect an embassy in Iran next? Instead of supporting our close ally Israel with an embassy in Jerusalem, President Obama is accommodating an enemy, the Castro regime, without forcing it to turn over its terrorist and criminal fugitives.”
