WASHINGTON — A brief exchange after President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday night has sparked interest in what the White House might be considering doing regarding its policies toward Cuba.
The conversation between Biden and U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat and Cuban American who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, happened after the president finished his speech and was greeting lawmakers, and it was caught on camera.
“Bob, I gotta talk to you about Cuba,” Biden said smiling. “OK,” Menendez replied. “I’m serious,” Biden added, before moving on to salute other members of Congress gathered around him.
