January 04, 2017/ Tron Nick

In Puerto Rico, the new governor, Ricardo Rosselló, has promised to push immediately for U.S. statehood in his inaugural speech Monday, saying there can be no resolution to the island’s economic crisis while Puerto Rico remains a territory of the United States.

Gov. Ricardo Rosselló: "There’s no way to overcome the current crisis that affects Puerto Rico while maintaining this colonial condition. Thus, the time has come to act and to defend the dignity and right to equality of Puerto Ricans as citizens of the United States of America."
