SECRETARY RUBIO: "We have to have a relationship with China. We want it to be as positive as it possibly can be. But that won't come at the expense of our allies and partners in the region or our presence here."
.@SecRubio: "What is at stake here is not simply the issue of what's happening in the Straits of Hormuz. It's a very fundamental principle about freedom of navigation. If that is threatened, the global economy is threatened."
.@glennbeck: "Rubio came out with a report from the State Department that casts the Castro regime not just as a geopolitical adversary, but as an ideological nucleus of what is being described as the modern, radical left."
.@CBSMiami: "A plane full of aid from the U.S. to Cuba landed in Havana today. It's the first of a $100 million humanitarian aid package promised by Secretary of State Marco Rubio."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "The United States doesn't want to be a communist country. We're never going to be a communist country. We're not going to allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our society."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "We remain open to diplomacy. We remain open to working it out in a negotiated way, but right now, they don't seem to be serious about that."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "These differences will exist for the foreseeable future. Our job is to manage those so they never get out of control. We're obviously going to always defend our national interest."
Earlier today, Senior State Department officials joined @CatholicRelief to send off the first flight of humanitarian aid following @SecRubio's historic commitment of $100 million in humanitarian assistance directly to the Cuban people.
.@NEWSMAX: "The State Department issuing a stunning new report accusing the Cuban government of fostering a decades-long, anti-American network of left-wing activist organizations in the U.S."
.@MattWhitlock: "I am so glad that the State Department has created this direct line between the communist government of Cuba and left-wing activity in America."
