Washington, June 27 (RHC)-- Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy  has harshly criticized President Trump's Cuba policy rollback. 

Addressing a Senate session Monday afternoon, Leahy again defended a piece of legislation he and Senator Jeff Flake -a Republican from Arizona -- are sponsoring that seeks to restore Americans’ freedom to travel to Cuba.

On Trump's Cuba policy, Leahy said: “It should be obvious to everyone that this is a political favor from President Trump to a few influential Members of Congress who have never set foot in Cuba and who represent a tiny minority of the American people.  Even a majority of Cuban Americans oppose this return to a failed policy of punitive sanctions.”
                                          
The U.S. legislator underscored that The Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act has the co-sponsorship of 55 members of congress, and if it were voted today it would have an bipartisan overwhelming support.
