Related: About this forumTrump Weighing New Limits on Cuba Travel and Military Sanctions

President Donald Trump plans to scale back his predecessors effort to open Cuba to U.S. tourism and trade, and his advisers are preparing options including new limits on American travel to the island and restricting partnerships between U.S. companies and entities with ties to the Cuban military, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
Final options havent yet been presented to Trump, though a decision is expected before a visit by the U.S. president to Miami on Friday. The people familiar with the plans, both outside the White House, spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions are ongoing.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Monday declined to describe Trumps plans for President Barack Obamas Cuba liberalization policy. When we have an announcement on the presidents schedule well let you know, he told reporters.
Trump has criticized Obamas deal-making with Cuba as one-sided, and has said it allowed the Castro regime to continue human rights abuses. Obama re-opened the U.S. embassy on the island, relaxed travel restrictions on American citizens, and allowed U.S. airlines to establish direct flights and U.S. cruise lines to make ports of call in Cuba.

(17,019 posts)2. What! So now he's worried about human rights abuses?
Not a problem in the Middle East but it is in Cuba? He needs to just come out and say "Hey, I'm going to trash everything Obama ever did and you can't stop me" and be done with it.

he is bringing down, but the stupid fuck is deteriorating our standing in the world and isolating us to a third world existence.
Again he is a stupid fuck.
