‘They are asking for freedom’: Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart on the latest wave of protests in Cuba

The congressman describes the fight for freedom amid government crackdowns on the island, what’s driving the historic protests, why he says the U.S. embargo should remain in place and how international allies can support the Cuban people.
