Dozens of Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to President Donald Trump criticizing the country's blockade of Cuba, saying it is "exacerbating a humanitarian crisis" and called for a "new approach."
Led by Rep. Gregory Meeks and Senator Tim Kaine, the letter was signed by 50 representatives and senators. It claimed that "for 64 years, the United States has relied on the flawed premise that maximum pressure would yield political change on the island," but that approach has not worked.
