The Cuban government’s crackdown on protesters is “unacceptable” and has largely stopped protests across the island nation, the White House said on Wednesday.
The Biden administration is still undergoing a comprehensive review of its Cuba policy and recent developments will factor into its response, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
The protests in Cuba “have largely stopped because of the regime’s violent crackdown and retaliatory measures against Cubans in exercising their fundamental and universal rights,” she said. “This is unacceptable.”
