Miami-Dade County will not be a safe haven for businesses that ignore federal sanctions or engage in commercial activities involving entities controlled by the Cuban communist dictatorship.

Following reports that Vanguard Energy entered into contractual arrangements involving CUPET, Cuba’s state-owned oil company, my office revoked the company’s Local Business Tax Receipt. This action comes after the U.S. Department of State publicly stated that Vanguard Energy had not received a U.S. license for the reported transaction and reaffirmed that U.S. sanctions remain fully in effect. It also follows the announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that CUPET has been sanctioned under President Trump’s Executive Order 14404.

When the U.S. Department of State speaks clearly on sanctions compliance, local governments have a responsibility to take notice. Businesses operating in Miami-Dade County must comply with federal sanctions, state law, and local requirements.

This is about the rule of law, accountability, and protecting the integrity of our business community. Miami-Dade County will not serve as a base of operations for activities that undermine U.S. foreign policy, violate federal law, or provide support to a regime that has denied freedom to the Cuban people for more than six decades.

We stand with the rule of law. We stand with the Cuban people. We stand with the efforts of President Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio to deny the Cuban dictatorship the resources it uses to control and repress its own people.

Cirrus - owned by a blacklisted CCP military company - supported HB 1997/SB 2143 in Tennessee to gift themselves a $5.5 mm/yr subsidy.

It's wild CCP military companies have any statehouse ops.

It's insane they lobby tax gifts for themselves.

If you haven’t been to at least a third of these bakeries then you aren’t a Miamian, you’re just passing through.

What started as an idea sat unfinished for almost six years.

I finally put on my big boy pants and spent the last week writing, rewriting, editing, and obsessing over Burger Beast's Guide to Cuban Bakeries in Miami.
