Wonder what Trump will do with Cuba.
I love the cr** Obama pulled with the "get to our shores and your home free" policy shut down...just a few days before he left.
I think that there is no way that the Obama administration did NOT know of his involvement. For that matter, there must be a whole more leftists involved in various Latin American Governments who are also involved in narcotics and money laundering. I think our Government pretty much knows who they ALL are. And I agree that the Obama administration just let them slide.
sounds like he’s a muzzie

U.S. sanctions Venezuelan vice president and accuses him of being a drug kingpin
"El Aissami is one of the main contacts in Latin America for the extremist organizations, said Luis Fleischman, senior adviser at the Center for Security Policy (CSP) in Washington, D.C.
He is one of Venezuela's main contacts with Hezbollah, said Fleischman, who keeps a close eye on the South American country. He has been providing logistical and financial support to those organizations.
Tareck? Muslim?
Since when is “Tareck El Aissami” a Spanish name? Oh, It’s Not! This guy is connected with the Iranians and Hezzbollah.
He’s facilitating the infiltration of terrorists into South America. “A little-discussed feature, at least here in the US, of Chavez’s socialist regime was its ties to hardline Islamists. For example, from 2007 to at least 2010, there was a flight from Caracas, Venezuela, to Tehran, Iran, that made a stop in Damascus, Syria.”-Business Insider Jan. 05

Obama let it ride because the guy is of Syrian descent and very much supports the regime in Iran. Hezbollah

All those Obama sanctions against Russia buy not one for a nation starving it’s people to death.
Obama’s presidency was a coup.
Specifically, a Muslim-communist one.
The Druze... They change spots.
