American Thinker: Elections have consequences. Just ask Raúl Castro!
Not long ago, Raúl Castro was hoping that the Obama approach would bring dollars and tourists to Cuba. He is getting a rude awakening.
We just got news that the Trump administration is looking to tighten the Cuba embargo, according to this story:
The Trump administration is weighing what could become the most serious tightening of the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba in more than two decades – a move that could unleash a flurry of lawsuits against foreign companies that have invested on the island.
A 1996 law known as the Helms-Burton Act give Americans the right to sue companies profiting from properties confiscated by Cuba’s government after its 1959 socialist revolution. That potentially could allow hundreds of lawsuits against corporations around the world, from Spanish companies that run Cuban hotels to Chinese and Turkish firms renovating Cuban ports.
But every U.S. president since Bill Clinton has suspended the key clause, known as Title III, because of its potential to alienate U.S. allies and complicate any future American detente with Cuba.
This is very interesting – and is quite justified. more here
Show me how it’ll hurt the lifestyle of the dictator and I’ll pay attention. What bothers me is it more likely will just tighten the screws on the impoverished people already suffering.
When it was impossible to go to Cuba, leftists I have to endure swore Cuba has the best health care in the world. A model for Obama to adopt. Then when the seditious gay Kenyan commie changed the rules, none of the leftists seemed interested in going to Cuba for the best health care in the world. Hmmmmmm……
Slight corrrection: The Cuba Health care system provudes the best care in Cubs, ir provides the ONLY health care in Cuba as well.
Aw hell Judge, tell your lefty friends that the Trump embargo will ensure all those Cubans get to keep their muy authentico lifestyle that all the left kept raving about when Jug Ears lifted the travel ban….. but before they drank all the Cubans beer and caused a toilet paper shortage with their destructive travel agendas….
Seems like the left would be happy that Cubas’ escaping the evil and heartless American culture. Run free lil’ Cubans, Cuba Libre siempre.
Funny, Mr. Burr. Very funny. ….Lady in Red
Yea well, Cubas got all the hot collector cars. So they win.
I fought those asshole in Nicaragua and the CIA pulled us out and let the Cubans take the country over, I think these communist should starve to death with a US embargo. We should do the same to Venezuela too.
