Trump Reverses Obama Policy On Cuba Embargo

The Trump administration intends to vote this week against a United Nations resolution condemning the U.S. economic embargo of Cuba, reversing an Obama administration position amid a period of heightened diplomatic tensions between Washington and Havana.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

Last year, under Obama, the U.S. abstained from the vote as a part of the administration’s tentative rapprochement policy between Cold War adversaries.

The reversal reflects a more hawkish approach to Cuba by the Trump administration, which was critical of warming relations with the Castro regime even before recent revelations that two dozen U.S. diplomatic personnel were subjected to unexplained “sonic attacks” in Havana.

How come if we are the only ones with an embargo against them are Cubans only driving old American cars? Can’t they buy cars from Mexico or Brazil?

Reverse everything obama did until there’s nothing to put in his joke of a museum except for Big Mike’s jock strap.
