MIAMI, FL - Today, Congressman Carlos A. Giménez (FL-28) joined ‘Mornings with Maria’ to raise the alarm on the national security threat posed by Havana Syndrome and called on the Biden Administration to hold the dictatorship in Communist Cuba accountable for working with malign Russian actors to target U.S. officials overseas.

“It is no surprise the dictatorship in Communist Cuba collaborated with Russian assets to use Havana Syndrome to actively target and harm U.S. officials,” said Rep. Gimenez. “As the only Cuban-born Member of Congress, I call on the Biden Administration to use every tool in its disposal to hold the regime in Cuba accountable for this perverse action.”

First detected in Havana, Cuba in 2016, Havana Syndrome is a medical condition reported by U.S. and Canadian officials who are stationed overseas. Symptoms range from pain, ringing in the years, and cognitive dysfunction. 

Former President Trump applauded Rep. Gimenez’s efforts to combat the danger posed by Havana Syndrome.
