Trump, in Miami speech, set to roll back Obama's Cuba policy
FoxNews ^ | June 10, 2017 | Serafin Gomez

President Trump will head to Miami on Friday, home to a large and influential Cuban-American community, to unveil his administration’s new Cuba policy -- which will roll back central parts of his predecessor’s efforts to normalize ties with the Communist island nation, according to a senior administration official and other sources. 

While details on the changes to the policy have yet to be fully revealed, a U.S. official suggested that Trump would call for Cuban President Raul Castro to push for more political freedom and to release democratic activists in Cuban prisons, among other initiatives.

Trump is at the same time expected to announce a reversal in some areas of former President Barack Obama's previous steps toward normalizing relations including the opening of embassies between the two countries and the easing of flight restrictions between the U.S. and Cuba

The media and the left ( excuse the redundancy) will spin this to something bad.

One thing Obama got right was ending the wet foot/dry foot policy of Cuban refugees. We should be taking in zero refugees and encouraging them to fight back in their own homelands.

Turn Gitmo into a penal colony staffed by Cuban guards. Put our illegals there. Cheap labor. We really don’t need it. Expensive thorn in Castro’s side.

The democrat communist scumbag OBAMA gave the Castro regime EVERYTHING and got NOTHING in return.

That’s the way the democrats operate, STUCK ON STUPID.

All of the airlines that bought into HUSSEINS nonsense have cut or canceled service, as there is ABSOLUTELY NO TOURISTS traveling to DC SOUTH.

Trump about to set things right and who knows, maybe pull a REAGAN and cause the communist government in Cuba to FALL.

IIRC, the biggie was if you got to our mainland, you were safe. Now, you can be deported. I think that’s what I remember as being a big deal.

Not always the best, but pretty good.

Just what do the Cubans have to fight back with? Forty or fifty year old vehicles? I suppose they could use the bumpers for weapons. These people are virtually helpless.

Daily flights to Cuba for one thing. Probably some work has been done towards an embassy.

I’m not opposed to normalizing relations with Cuba, as long as we and the Cuban people get something for it, like free elections without Castro on the ballot, freeing political prisoners, freedom of speech, etc.

Sorry, not my problem. We have our own problems here. We don't need more refugees coming here who are going to duplicate the conditions here that they escaped from.

And don't give me this BS about how Cubans are conservative and vote Republican once they are here. They still have the socialist DNA in them, like almost all Latin American countries.

That was the one good thing Obama has ever done, was ending the wet foot/dry foot policy.

Tell Raul he has 48 hours to leave Cuba. Cut them off completely. Tell the Chinese and Russians that if those new islands in the South China sea are Chinese, Cuba is American.
