  • After two separate attacks killed at least 31 people in Brussels, Belgium, early on March 22, 2016, Kasich told Fox News, "What I hope he will say he's leaving Cuba and heading back to the White House he’s gonna begin to organize meetings with the leaders around the world and at the same time get himself in the position of where we can send teams of people immediately to Europe to begin to dig in terms of what we need to do to address the vulnerabilities we have.”[2]
  • Jim DeFede of CBS4 in Miami caught up with Kasich on the campaign trail in New Hampshire in February and asked if the candidate would break diplomatic relations with Cuba if elected. Kasich replied, “Well let’s see where we are when I come [into office] and what the administration has done.” Kasich continued, “I think [the Obama Administration] made a big mistake because I think Cuba needed to do something [before diplomatic relations were restored last year]. Why are we always reaching out? Why are we always moving? My sense is they haven’t made any compromises; they keep demanding things so I don’t understand what the administration is doing.”[3]
