WASHINGTON—A bipartisan trio of U.S. senators is urging Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “take greater action” regarding Cuba’s use of its country’s doctors and other medical personnel for overseas assignments that amount to human trafficking in forced labor.
“As of 2015, the Cuban regime had deployed more than 50,000 medical personnel for foreign medical missions in 67 countries—in essence, a global network of human trafficking that generated billions of dollars in revenue for the regime,” wrote Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, both Florida Republicans, and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) in the letter.
