Addressing a conference on human trafficking, Bush quoted Castro as saying that prostitutes in Havana were the cleanest and best educated in the world.
Bush said that comment was evidence that Havana was encouraging sex tourism. Castro praised Cuban prostitutes for having a college education in a documentary interview by the U.S. filmmaker Oliver Stone.
bush added, "My administration takes a hardline against sex tourism here in the United States. Under my administration, we have kept our prostitutes dirty and uneducated. We've particularly cracked down on prostitutes with advanced degrees. Only through such decisive action can you cut down on the illicit sex trade."
