Who is saying that the president is like Trump?\u201d Psaki responded.<\/p>\n<p>In an NBC interview that aired Thursday, Cuba\u2019s foreign minister criticized Biden for keeping some of Trump\u2019s sanctions on the country. Trump had slapped several U.S. sanctions back on Cuba after former President Barack Obama loosened U.S. policy toward the communist country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe there is an inertia effect. It\u2019s a pity that President Biden couldn\u2019t implement his own policy toward Cuba,\u201d said Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez Parrilla. \u201cIt\u2019s a terrible mistake to continue implementing this kind of cruel sanctions, even sanctions during a pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shear said he could find Psaki \u201cquotes\u201d from \u201clots of folks,\u201d including immigration advocates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been numerous on-the-record descriptions of the president embracing, and it\u2019s actually in some ways just a factual thing\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut like on what policy?\u201d Psaki interrupted. \u201cOn what policy, sir? You can name people or what specific policies?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shear referenced the withdrawal from Afghanistan, something Trump had also intended to complete, and Title 42, a health law that allows immigration authorities to expel migrants during health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration cited Title 42 last year in order to deport migrants quickly before allowing them to apply for asylum, arguing that detaining them in the U.S. posed the danger of spreading the virus.<\/p>\n<p>In the last several weeks, the Biden administration defended its decision to continue using Title 42 to expel thousands of migrants, most of them from Haiti, amid criticism from Democrats and immigration advocates.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki responded that Title 42 is a \u201cpublic health requirement because we\u2019re in the middle of a pandemic, which, by the way, we would have made progress on had the former president actually addressed the pandemic and not suggested people inject bleach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think we\u2019re in a bit of a different place. I\u2019m happy to discuss more examples. I think people would be pretty hard-pressed to argue that the president has taken any aspect of the former president\u2019s playbook and used it as a model of his own,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
