Exactly. Ironic that Biden secured the release of Cuba's own political prisoners. Many of the hardline anti-Cuban folks (and I sympathize with them) do not support removing Cuba from the terrorist-supporter nations list. In reality, releasing political prisoners does not affect Cuba's support for terrorists. There are various terrorists who are living in Cuba, right now. Cuba is a sanctuary nation for terrorists. But freeing these protesters is more important. The freedom of one innocent man is worth the freedom of one hundred terrorists.

Memorandum 499 from April 6, 1960 makes it clear that the intention of the blockade is to: "denying money and supplies to Cuba, to DECREASE MONETARY AND REAL WAGES, TO BRING ABOUT HUNGER, DESPERATION AND OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENT" If the Cuban people are really so dissatisfied why would you need to cause such a condition to overthrow government? The suffering of the people is the goal of the blockade/embargo because the US still wants Cuba to be a feifdom under US corporate interested like it was since the 1800s until Castro took over.

Cubas government is blah

[@NN-lx4mb]

I have been to Cuba a dozen times. The people are the most friendly. It’s unfortunate the government doesn’t realize its faults.

[@bradgarling463]

We now have an embassy there how about sending an ambassador?

[@uppastdawn7627]

At least open trade so they can get parts for those old cars.

[@jayguha9136]

Cuba ought to diversify with a LookEast & LookSouth policy - if their LookNorth policy is contrained.

[@Hunter-y9p]

While you’re doing that put the love for your country first, you all need to understand that the US 🇺🇸 don’t care about Cuban, you’re all dumb to think so. US government interest is for those giving millions to their campaign

[@MbisonBalrog]

US not want Cuba be a full BRICS member.

[@trickydicky90]

I thought the C in BRICS was China?

[@jameswest4819]

Maybe Trump will remove all the restrictions on Cuba and open trade relations as well.

[@bentcn8511]

Then Trump ruins everything.

[@XavierZinkel]

Unfortunately for Cuba, Monday trump will be president and Marco Rubio will be secretary of state 😂😂😂

[@arumforyou]

But it will be great for Americans.

[@Miamipiano33]

Yes and because Cubans like Marco Rubio does no longer have family there he will block everything that could help Cuba is sad.

[@Da__goat]

They're going to be real tired tomorrow when it all gets reversed

[@alanstrong55]

If American, European, and Asian vehicles are allowed to enter Cuba, I would welcome Cuban cigars and sugar. Even the wildwood flower it produces gets my welcome. May Raul Castro welcome good terms with the U S.

[@risinbison1106]

Cuba isn’t poor because of the US, Cuba can trade with over 300 other countries and there is no embargo on US agricultural products. Cuba is poor because socialism runs out of other people’s money.

[@LG-bs1rs]

100%

[@bobg1117]

The continued embargoes and sanctions are ridiculous. What do we think? Will the rerun of a drumpf administration be brave enough to stop this nonsense? I have my doubts. Peace and love to Cuba from Texas.

[@mrsmucha]

Republican Cuban Americans are the source of the continuing embargoes and sanctions against Cuba.

[@cre8tvedge]

No it won't. Trump two will be ten times more cruel and oppressive than trump one. Get ready to suffer.

[@toddlogg]

1:20 that chicken was not done......

[@MGC-1977]

FFS just end the embargo!

[@Ranoldopereztroika]

This didn't age well.

[@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket]

What does it say about communism that it can't function without access to the American market?

[@criticaltheories5222]

Thanks Joe....😮‍💨

[@SevenBee-q2j]

Trump will rescind it unless it makes Trump personal money ... As long as Trump gets to build a Casino & Hotel, it'll all be good. If not, better keep those 1950's cars going boys 😳

[@aussie-green-skull-7824]

It's not going to last long Trump will just put the cuba back on the list

[@jd49]

Maybe the economic depression in Cuba is severe enough for the Cuban Gov. to cry uncle! The people of Cuba have suffered enough! Time for president Trump to do his magic.

[@masonjones3780]

Next week agent orange and little Marco will change that! Back to the same ol

[@alswamprat]

It's time to work with Cuba

[@bobekvelky4129]

USA regime of imperialism, leave Cuba alone

[@noshademiami5629]

China didn’t leave Taiwan alone matter of fact Taiwan have 2 super power countries doing an embargo on Taiwan yet despite of those embargo Taiwan manage to become one of the richest countries

[@noshademiami5629]

Cuba have one powerful country doing an embargo that it

[@sorellman]

Thank you, China!
