The US's actions against Cuba are inhumane, illegal, and immoral. President Biden should follow Obama's footsteps and normalize relations with Cuba.
End the blockade. Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Close Guantánamo Bay.
¡Cuba sí, bloqueo no!
Mexico should know better. This is just how the US treats allies that aren't geopolitically significant like Canada and Mexico.
If Latin America was being invaded by Russia then that is where the US would be spending the money. So I don't think he actually wants what he is asking for.

Mexico is a made up fantasyland of corruption, drug cartels, and enchiladas
Hmm I wonder where the cartels get their guns, most of their money/customers, and even protection.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a broad criticism of U.S. foreign policy, saying U.S. economic sanctions were forcing people to emigrate from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
Instead they concentrated on expanded trade and economic ties, hailing new cooperation on those fronts, and stressed their commitment to fight the surge of synthetic opioids like fentanyl into the U.S. from Mexico.
“By creating the right incentives and business environments and harnessing our two nations’ respective strengths, we have a tremendous opportunity to make North America the most competitive, the most productive, the most dynamic region in the world,” Blinken said.
Experts say economic mismanagement and political repression are largely to blame for the tide of migrants leaving Venezuela and Cuba.
He called for a U.S. program “to remove blockades and stop harassing independent and free countries, an integrated plan for cooperation so the Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Ecuadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans wouldn’t be forced to emigrate.”
The Mexican president laughed off an effort by U.S. Republican lawmakers to cut the tiny amount of foreign aid the U.S. gives to Mexico.
