Translated excerpt with translator comments:
Once again we see how the Castro dictatorship could not have ever survived for more than six decades without the implicit help of foreigners. While Cubans are suffering through blackouts, food and medicine shortages, and historic oppression, American businessmen are in Havana looking for business deals with the communist dictatorship.
The faces of shamelessness’: U.S. businessmen criticized for meeting with the Cuban regime
Cuban activists criticized a “business conference” between the dictatorship and U.S. businessmen that began on Wednesday at the Hotel Nacional in Havana.
“A business conference between Cuba and the U.S. kicks off in Havana,” wrote the official account of the Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment Ministry (MINCEX) on Twitter.
The conference, which will run through October 28, was organized by Focus Cuba, a U.S. entity that provides consulting and travel to the island in conjunction with the government-controlled Cuban Chamber of Commerce. According to the invitation, among the speakers scheduled to appear is Minister Gil, who will speak about “the different types of private businesses and their growth” on the island.
Behind Focus Cuba’s business consulting service is Philip Peters, president of the Cuba Research Center and an “advisor” for members of Congress and the Senate who have traveled to Cuba. Also involved is Paul Johnson, president of the U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba.
Cuban activist Magdiel Jorge Castro shared images of some of the businessmen who are at the conference, among them Cuban American Hugo Cancio.
“The faces of shamelessness and complicity with Cuba’s state terrorism and its human rights violations,” said entrepreneur Saily Gonzalez Velazquez, commenting on the businessmen who appear in the photo.

Globalist businessmen looking to line their and the Senate’s pockets at the expense of the Cuban citizen. Normal business in a dictatorship. Trump’s rally in Miami will be one to watch to see what he says about Cuba.
‘Cuba Thaw 2.0’ may be on its way

Translated Excerpt with translators commentary:
All signs seem to point to the coming of “Cuba Thaw 2.0.” Alarm bells have been going off in the Cuban American community as signs the Biden administration is increasing its interactions with Cuba’s Castro dictatorship are becoming more frequent.
Earlier this week, Cuban American members of congress sent a letter to the White House inquiring about an apparent but unannounced shift in Cuba policy while at the same time, American businessmen are in Havana being wined and dined by the Castro regime.
Now we learn that the Biden administration is having “regular conversations” with the communist Castro dictatorship:
The U.S. State Department holds regular talks with the Cuban government, according to an email sent to Radio Martí by a spokesperson in Washington.
The official said the conversations happen “whenever necessary, to promote the interests of the U.S.”
According to the State Department spokesperson, whose name was not revealed by Radio Martí, there is “regular communication with officials of the Cuban government” through the embassy in Havana and the Coordinator of Cuban Affairs office in Washington D.C.
The State Department said “the Biden administration’s Cuba policy is centered on the support of human rights and the political and economic wellbeing of the Cuban people” and that Washington will continue to “demand the release of all political prisoners and the respect for human rights on the island,” reported Radio Martí.
The support for human rights and the release of political prisoners is all great. However, Obama paid the same lip service during his rapprochement with the Castro dictatorship, while doing nothing of substance to help the Cuban people free themselves of tyranny.
So far, all signs point to the imminent arrival of Cuba Thaw 2.0, a return to the Obama administration’s disastrous Cuba policy of unilateral concessions that only served to strengthen the communist Castro dictatorship’s grip on power.

Trump’s rally in Miami presenting opportunity to solidify and increase MAGA membership in Florida. IIRC it was Americans, who immigrated from Cuba and Venezuela, that drove their cars to Mar a Lago to show support for Trump after the FIBs raid. FJB courting the Castro totalitarian apparatus illustrates why it has been forecasted that Miami-Dade is now purple or Republican lean. Hope this spills over into Broward County, which has a history of crooked election shenanigans, and whose current elections supervisor is trying to cheat by setting up ‘branch’ county election offices so they can create illegal election ballot drop boxes, which violate Florida election law. https://rumble.com/v1q0f3q-exclusive-broward-county-allegedly-attempts-to-go-around-floridas-election-.html
