Progressive House members are facing criticism for a recent trip to Cuba that was not publicly disclosed. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal visited Havana last week, sparking controversy over their undisclosed visit. The trip, which was not reported by Cuban media, has drawn attention for its lack of transparency.
During their visit, Representative Omar called on President Biden to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. She argued that the designation is unwarranted and is causing further hardship for the Cuban people. The State Department clarified that they did not facilitate any meetings between the lawmakers and Cuban government officials.
