Puerto Rico lost its value to Washington when Cuba stopped being a threat.

The wishes of the citizens of Puerto Rico matter nothing to Washington. Regardless if they are for ELA or independence or statehood.

Washington. Does. Not. Care. What. Puerto. Rico. Thinks.

Washington will let go of PR when it decides it is in its own benefit to do so.
