Florida Republican politicians in Miami said today that the "gift" of the US Embassy in Cuba will not join the lifting of sanctions against the island since President Barack Obama lacks the votes in Congress to end the embargo.
"Every time there is a vote in the Legislature to remove sanctions on the island, there are more votes to keep them", today said Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
In a press conference, the representative from Florida and his colleague Mario Diaz-Balart, both Cuban asserted that in the Congress there are "sufficient bipartisan votes" to continue with economic punishment that for 55 years maintains US on the Caribbean island.
