Closing the Door to Cuba...Again

The president took predicted action with regard to travel to Cuba. As part of the new policy we Americans will no longer be able to take our own private trips to Cuba which I did and which I discuss on this blog. We will be forced again to take authorized educational tours which will also be subject to strict new rules and audits to ensure that we are not going just as tourists.Those tours will keep people from going where they want and talking to whomever they please. My urgency suggesting you go to Cuba yourself to see things with your own eyes continues unabated. These new restrictions will only make it terribly more expensive to do so. It appears the Trump position will once again promote the embargo and strategy which has failed over the last 50 years. Cuba will be fine. It is moving forward, I have seen it with my own eyes and talked to many Cubans there who agree, but it is doing it with the help of China and Russia.
