Reuters: Trump orders clampdown on Cuba travel and trade, curbing Obama detente
President Donald Trump on Friday ordered tighter restrictions on Americans traveling to Cuba and a clampdown on U.S. business dealings with the island’s military, saying "with God's help a free Cuba is what we will soon achieve."
As Trump laid out his new Cuba policy in a speech in Miami, the White House announced plans to roll back parts of former President Barack Obama’s historic opening to the communist-ruled country after a 2014 diplomatic breakthrough between the two former Cold War foes. But Trump was leaving many of Obama’s changes, including the reopened U.S. embassy in Havana, in place even as he sought to show he was making good on a campaign promise to take a tougher line against Cuba. "We will not be silent in the face of communist oppression any longer," Trump told a cheering crowd in Miami’s Cuban-American enclave of Little Havana, including Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who helped forge the new restrictions on Cuba.

"The proposed changes in US-Cuba relations that President Donald Trump will unveil Friday in Miami could adversely impact hotel brands that directly compete with Trump's business empire, making it more difficult for them expand their foothold in Cuba."

"Trump’s tough new Cuba policy isn’t nearly as tough as he wants you to think
Trump promised to “terminate” Obama’s deal with Cuba. But his new policies don’t go nearly that far."
The changes helps Trump in Florida with his base.
The changes will exacerbate the conditions in Cuba, when their Venezuelan oil tit runs dry.
Maximum leader #3 might have a very hard time of it in 2 years.
Other than helping out Trump Hotels, Trump's changes are like most things Trump, insignificant, all show no go.

The oil tit is running dry.
Maximum Cuban leader better hopes he has the charisma or secret police of his predecessors or that boy will be on the run.
Nope, the Republican House and Senate are working hard to ensure Cuba has all the American food they can eat,
and subsidized American natural gas.
Whatever.
LMFAO
