Biden can’t afford to make the same mistakes as Obama did in Cuba
What to do about Cuba could quickly become an uncomfortable political question for President-elect Joe Biden. He’ll soon arrive at a fork on the road. Should he veer right or left?
As Biden crafts his foreign policy, one of his administration’s most prickly dilemmas is wrapped in this simple question:
Should the United States return to its 2014 efforts – when Barack Obama was president and Biden his VP – to reestablish relations and diplomatic ties with the Cuban government, wiping away the 60-year U.S. embargo against the communist island? And if he has any intention of doing so, he’ll have to wrangle concessions from the regime before any resumption of relations. The Obama administration’s failure to do so doomed the historic rapprochement.
Of course, this is not foreign politics in South Florida; it’s local politics.
Exiles backed Trump
I'm not calling them Exiles. They supported Battista. Secondly, they are a tiny island. I'm not sure what "concessions" there are to be wrangled. the embargo is stupid. Designating Cuba as a state sponsor of Terrorism is stupid.
