DeSantis to White House: US can and should provide internet to Cuba Jordan Bowen reports TAMPA, Fla. - President Biden faced growing pressure from Governor Ron DeSantis Monday after the governor spoke out for the second time in less than a week about Cuba's internet crisis, asking for the White House to help people in Cuba communicate with each other and the outside world. It's now been more than a week and protesters in Tampa are still in the dark about their loved ones in Cuba. When protests broke out there early last week, the government shut down the internet in an attempt to stop future demonstrations.
