LIMA, Peru—Vice President Mike Pence blasted Cuba, calling it “a tired communist regime,” at the Summit of the Americas on April 14. He accused Cuba’s dictators of “exporting their failed ideology” across the region and supporting the dictatorship in Venezuela.
Standing in for President Donald Trump at the Lima summit, Pence called on regional leaders to stand with the people suffering in Venezuela and to isolate the ruling Maduro regime.
