Has Mr. Trump made any other statements RE: normalizing relations with the repressive/commie Cuba dictatorship? I haven’t been following his campaign stump speeches close enough,
Yes, exactly the same comment that he made regarding Iran deal: "I would have made a better deal."
I took it to mean that the deals would be essentially the same, with the addition of having Trump-branded Towers and/or Plazas in Havana, Guantanamo and Tehran (of course, with Cubans and Iranians paying for it), to signify the new era of "Trump benevolent fair trade" and "peaceful relationships with peaceful people."
