President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Xavier Becerra, reportedly rejected a request from a human rights organization to bring humanitarian aid to Cuba during a trip that he took to the communist nation in 1996 to meet with dictator Fidel Castro.
“Before Xavier Becerra’s trip as part of a ‘fact-finding’ congressional delegation to Cuba, the former California lawmaker was asked by Freedom House to bring an aid package including medicine and coloring books for the Cuban people,” The Washington Free Beacon reported. “Becerra refused, according to a December 1996 column by journalist and author Robert Novak.”
