Sen. Lindsey Graham had harsh words for President Obama’s foreign policy.
When asked his opinions on the change in U.S. policy toward Cuba, the South Carolina Republican said the island country deserves “no new engagement — they [the Castro brothers] deserve to be condemned.”
“Without any reason, we changed our policy,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday.
Graham, who will be on the Senate Armed Services, Appropriations, Judiciary and Budget committees come 2015, said Congress will not allow parts of the new policy to go through — such as Senate approval of a new ambassador to Cuba or a new embassy there.
“Congress is not going to enforce this policy,” he said.
Graham also called Cuba a threat to America: “Cuba, to me, represents everything that threatens us, and who are we? We believe in freedom and democracy.”
The country should also be worried about Iran, whom Graham said is watching how Obama deals with not just Cuba, but the hacking of Sony Pictures by North Korea, very closely.
“The Iranians are watching everything this man [Obama] does. The Iranians are sizing up Obama. … He has been weak and indecisive from one end of the planet to the other,” Graham challenged.
“How the president handles this is very important,” he said.
