WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden on Monday ordered the State Department to create a working group to review U.S. remittance policy to ensure that money that Cuban Americans send home makes it directly into the hands of their families without the regime taking a cut.
He also ordered a review of the viability of increasing staff at the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The White House is hopeful that a boost in staffing could help it better facilitate civil society engagement following one of the communist island's biggest antigovernment demonstrations in recent memory.
The actions were detailed by a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Biden administration hadn’t yet publicly announced the effort.
It comes a little more than a week after thousands of Cubans took to the streets of Havana and other cities across the island to protest food shortages and high prices during the coronavirus crisis. It's a level of frustration not seen in Cuba in more than 60 years.
Biden is also calling for the administration to work with Congress to identify options to make the internet more accessible on the island. The regime moved to quickly cut off internet access to stop images of the protests from being broadcast to the world.

BiXiden needs to sort out whatever warfare was run against the Embassy peeps there in the past.
Perhaps a Benghazi with a latin twist?
Is AOC going ?
I’d much rather they make her czarina of Puerto Rico.
Send a couple of big cruise ships to Havana and see how many want a free one way to Miami. Then see how many want a one way from Miami to Havana. I dare the administration to try that.
Gawd, that would be delicious!
No doubt with a singular mission: figure out how to save the communist regime.
Send Joe, his brain won’t know it if the death rays are aimed at him.
No wants their brains fried with microwaves step right up
I don’t think the Cubans will be threatened enough by trannies and fags to use their wave frequency weapon.
Cuban cigars were permitted on a limited basis for a while after Obama (e.g. you could purchase them abroad, and import them to the USA for your own use). I don’t smoke cigars often (once or twice per month, maximum), but I made it a point to purchase some every time I went abroad. Trump ended this in September 2020, sending the value of my collection skyrocketing! :-P
Because if there’s one class of refugee we really really have to keep out, it’s hard working folks fleeing tyranny.
sending cia agents to help put down the protests
In reality, the Big Guy has not been getting his cut. Hunter Biden will be appointed Ambassador and will route the funds appropriately.
