Speaker John Boehner Slams Obama's 'Concessions to a Dictatorship' With Cuba

House Speaker John Boehner slammed President Obama’s changes to the policies between Cuba and the United States, criticizing the president for conceding to the “dictatorship” of the Castro regime.

Boehner said that Obama’s actions would embolden “all state sponsors of terrorism,” thanks to his change in diplomatic policy.

Boehner did not react to Obama’s request for Congress to work with him to change many of the laws barring travel and trade to Cuba. He did, however, welcome the release of political prisoner Alan Gross from Cuba.
