Is Biden Opening Doors to Cuba?

 

     Today -- June 16th-2022 -- Morgan Radford, a top journalist at NBC News, had a major report that said that President Biden is "OPENING DOORS" to Cuba. She said that President Biden reversed President Trump's edict that blocked U. S. flights to all Cuban cities except Havana, meaning that the island's other nine international airports were off limits. That was one part of Trump's expansion of the 6-decade-old Embargo that many observers believed expanded the Embargo/Blockade into an undeniably genocidal policy against Cubans on the island.

    So, on June 16-2022 the biggest headline pertaining to Cuba in the United States was NBC News proclaiming that the "U. S. begins lifting flight restrictions to Cuba."

    In the USA's two-party political system, both of the last two U. S. presidents -- the Democrat Joe Biden and the Republican Donald Trump -- have had approval ratings barely reaching up to the 40% percentile among Voters!! But, in that milieu, the Republicans are still considered to be 100% aligned with starving Cuba's economy to appease Cuban-Americans in Miami, Newark, and in Washington. But the Democrats, especially President Obama -- whose Vice President was Joe Biden for eight years -- have shown some compassion when it comes to starving Cuban families on the island. Thus, when Joe Biden became President in January of 2021 many believed he would reverse most of Trump's genocidal policies. But that has not HAPPENED! Therefore NBC News today reporting that President Biden is "OPENING DOORS" to Cuba is also not happening.

 After all, even the Miami-based Progreso Weekly reported that Miami's Republican U. S. Senator Marco Rubio dictated Trump's Cuban policies when he was the Senate's Foreign Relations Chairman...to suit Miami's rich and powerful Cubans.

     And, after all, Newark's Democrat U. S. Senator Bob Menendez is now the Senate's Foreign Relations Chairman and many assume that he now dictates President Biden's Cuban policies. So...will Senator Menendez allow President Biden to "OPEN DOORS to Cuba?????? In the meantime, while you ponder that question, it is no surprise that the Senators from Miami and Newark covet the powerful role as Chairmen of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee whether Democrats or Republicans control the Senate.  After all, Cuba happens to be a foreign nation.

        And, after all, Cuba -- strategically located just south of Florida -- is not only the largest but also, arguably, the most beautiful island nation in the Caribbean. That begs the question: If there was no U.S.-imposed Embargo/Blockade, would Cuba be the most prosperous nation in the Caribbean?? PROBABLY!!
