Cuban Exiles Urge Biden to Back 'Freedom Fighters,' Avoid Bay of Pigs Mistakes On 7/12/21 at 10:34 PM EDT After thousands of demonstrators swarmed the streets of Cuba calling for the removal of President Miguel Diaz-Canel and protesting for food and vaccines on Sunday, a group of Cuban exiles in Miami, Florida, have called for the U.S. to "step in," back the "freedom fighters," and "bring this regime to an end." In a Monday statement, President Joe Biden said, "We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba's authoritarian regime."
