United States Senator Marco Rubio launched his presidential campaign Monday,
with a fierce speech promising to renew U.S. leadership around the world.
“We must no longer be passive in the face of Chinese and Russian aggression
… especially Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua … by ending the near total disregard
for the erosion of democracy and human rights around the world then our
nation will be safer,” said Rubio, making his disapproval of these
governments explicit. The statement contradicts a previous intervention by
Rubio with the Brookings Institution in 2012, where he acknowledged that the
governments of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia were democratically
elected. The Republican candidate promised he will usher in a “new American
Century,” highlighting his belief that the U.S. has weakened, while adding
that the 2016 elections would decide what kind of country the U.S. would be
in the future. He also explained that, if he becomes president, he would
reform the U.S. tax code, immigration policies and he would repeal Presdient
Barack Obama’s health care program known as “Obamacare.” Rubio has been
banned from entering Nicaragua and Venezuela due to his remarks interfering
in internal politics in those countries; he is an outspoken critic of the
Obama administration’s policy toward Cuba. The Florida Senator recently met
with Colombian former president and current Senator Alvaro Uribe to plot
against the Venezuelan government, journalist Jose Vicente Rangel claimed
Sunday. Rubio has assumed the chairmanship of a Senate subcommittee on the
Western Hemisphere, which has given him full oversight of U.S. foreign
policy across the Americas. Consistently, the senator has acted against
Venezuela and other Latin American governments – such as Nicaragua,
Argentina and Cuba – and is one of the promoters of sanctions against
Venezuela and Cuba. Rubio, of Cuban parents, has close ties to the
anti-Cuban lobby in Florida.
