Read our privacy policy House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and fellow GOP politicians accused President Joe Biden on Thursday of not doing more to help Cubans on the island get access to the internet. The president also created a working group to review U.S. remittance policy to make sure the communist government is not taking a cut of the money Cubans send from the U.S. to the island. Former President Donald Trump’s administration took more than 200 actions against Cuba, including limiting individual trips to the island from the U.S., barring cruise ship visits and capping remittances. U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said increasing remittances is “something the regime has been asking for.” Diaz-Balart added that he had participated in previous classified briefings during which several options to improve access to the internet had been presented.
