On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly expressed frustration with the current administration's lack of transparency, stating, "I really just wish, you know, that the administration would do us the courtesy on Cuba of what they failed to do on Iran and make the case."

As the legal pressure on the Havana leadership mounts, the gap between official policy debates and casual commentary is widening.
