English/Español: Rubio Places a Hold on Biden’s Nominees to Serve as U.S. Ambassadors to China and Spain
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after placing holds on R. Nicholas Burns and Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón, President Joe Biden’s nominees to serve as U.S. Ambassadors to China and Spain, respectively.
“Nicholas Burns has a long career in public service, but it is a career defined by the failure to understand the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party,” Rubio said of Mr. Burns. “In fact, Burns displayed no remorse or concern about his current business relationships with nationless corporations operating in China. Burns is exactly the type of nominee I expect from President Biden given this administration’s weak approach toward China, including lobbying against my bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The last thing we need is another caretaker of American decline in the room with the Chinese Communist Party.”
“Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón is a Castro sympathizer and apologist who has absolutely no business being in our government,” Rubio said of Ms. Reynoso. “Her direct involvement in helping to exchange incarcerated members of the regime’s intelligence service, while serving a sentence in a U.S. prison amid the Obama-Castro appeasement policy, raises serious questions about her character and judgement. One thing I am confident of, though, is that Reynoso would not push Spain to increase pressure on the authoritarian regimes in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. In fact, she will likely give Spain a pass for turning a blind eye. We need someone who is committed to freedom and human rights in the Western Hemisphere, not an envoy for dictators.”
Rubio is Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado después de poner un “hold” en las nominaciones de R. Nicholas Burns y Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón, nominados por el presidente Joe Biden para servir como embajadores de Estados Unidos ante China y España, respectivamente.
“Nicholas Burns tiene una larga carrera en el servicio público, pero es una carrera definida por la falta de comprensión ante la amenaza que representa el Partido Comunista Chino”, Rubio dijo del Sr. Burns. “De hecho, Burns no mostró ni remordimiento ni preocupación sobre sus actuales vínculos comerciales con corporaciones que operan en China. Burns es exactamente el tipo de nominado que espero del presidente Biden dado el débil enfoque de esta administración hacia China–incluyendo el cabildeo en contra de mi proyecto de ley bipartidista para la Prevención del Trabajo Forzoso de los Uigures. Lo último que necesitamos es otro cuidador del declive estadounidense en una sala de reuniones con el Partido Comunista Chino”.
“Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón es una simpatizante y apologista del régimen de Castro que no debería estar en nuestro gobierno”, Rubio dijo de la Sra. Reynoso. “Su participación directa en la ayuda para intercambiar a miembros encarcelados del servicio de inteligencia del régimen cubano mientras cumplían una sentencia en una prisión americana durante la política de apaciguamiento de Obama y Castro plantea serias dudas sobre su carácter y juicio. Sin embargo, hay una cosa de la cual estoy totalmente seguro: Reynoso no presionaría a España a que aumente la presión contra los regímenes autoritarios de Cuba, Nicaragua y Venezuela. De hecho, probablemente le dará a España un pase por hacerse los de la vista gorda. Necesitamos a alguien que esté comprometido con la libertad y los DDHH. en el hemisferio occidental, no una delegada de los dictadores”.
Rubio es el vicepresidente del Comité de Inteligencia en el Senado de EE.UU. y miembro de Alto Rango del Comité de Relaciones Exteriores en el Senado de EE.UU.
