WATCH: Schow On Fox: Media Attacking Trump For MLB Decision From Treasury Department

Daily Wire

Appearing on “Fox News @ Night” with host Shannon Bream, Daily Wire Senior Editor Ashe Schow discussed the Trump administration’s decision to end an agreement with Cuba that would allow baseball players from the country to play for Major League Baseball clubs in the U.S.

The move comes after the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sent a letter to MLB attorneys saying the agreement violated U.S. trade law. The agreement was originally made under the Obama administration. As Fox News reported, payments to the Cuban government are illegal under U.S. law, and the Cuban Baseball Federation was seen as too close to the Cuban government. The original agreement called for MLB teams to pay the CBF to allow the players to come to the U.S. MLB argued the CBF was not a formal part of the Cuban government.
