Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) blasted President Joe Biden’s announced sanctions against Cuba, calling the measures “meaningless,” and accused the president of “pandering to the Marxist left” of his party that idolizes Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution.

The Treasury Department instituted the sanctions Thursday.
