Audio: Christopher Sabatini on U.S.-Cuba Ties

On December 17, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would normalize U.S.-Cuba relations, as well as the release of the U.S. contractor Alan Gross. AS/COA’s Christopher Sabatini spoke on WNYC’s The Brian Lehrer Show about the flaws under existing policy. "No country has undergone a democratic transition that has been under as tight an embargo as Cuba is," Sabatini explained. "There is no real evidence that Cuba is sponsoring terrorism or is a geostrategic threat."
