Globalist Lefty's always so excited to open up trade with every ****hole country on Earth to fleece our own country.
Its a dumb decision and he hasn't even provided a reason, Cuba isn't a threat to us or anyone else. One thing he is good at is alienating our neighbors and allies around the world. But go digress into your globalist nonsense, he isn't capable of diplomacy, that would require hard work and intelligence.

Don’t think with your emotions. Think with logic. He is doing it to win Florida, a state he needs to win if he wants to win re-election.

Under “support for the Cuban people” category, individuals can travel to Cuba, but they must have an itinerary filled with meetings and visits with local business owners, artists or others. They must plan on participating in local activities and staying in a private home, instead of a hotel.
Mr. Popper said his company is changing its tours from “people-to-people” to “support for the Cuban people,” a shift other tour providers will likely make.

“As we’ve done in years past — we’ve been providing Cuban travel for five presidents now — we’ll change what we do to remain legal, remain compliant and show Americans an amazing side of Cuba,” Mr. Popper said.

ViaHero, an online platform that connects travelers with locals to plan personalized trips, said the new regulations could help bolster business for tour providers who already give “support to the Cuban people” tours and for local businesses.

You know, the Castro regime would've ended 50 years ago simply by lifting the embargo and letting Disney, Nike, and McDonalds do business with them......

I will come right out and say what I think. I think it is a bad idea, I do not like it, I disagree with it, and I am not happy about it at all.
Tough. I happen to agree with the reasons. Supporting a dictator in Venezuela. For one.

You cherry picked the article. Trips to Cuba were always cultural, that is now banned.


Quote:
The Trump administration on Tuesday imposed new restrictions on Americans going to Cuba, banning the most common way Americans travel to the island.
Beginning on Wednesday, the United States will not permit group educational and cultural trips known as “people to people” trips to the island unless they were booked before June 5, the Treasury Department said in a statement. Nor will it allow cruises, private yachts or fishing vessels to stop in Cuba. Group people-to-people trips have been used by thousands of American visitors.
The move left tour companies and cruise lines assessing the impact and how they might have to modify their operations in Cuba.

Why do people distort reality with such ease?
The Russians have pretty much pulled out.
When Cuba capitulates, we will ease the sanctions.
