Both of them probably expect the Havana regime to collapse the way a lot of Banana Republican governments imploded when the US Navy sent a shipload of Marines to call at one of their major seaports 100 years ago, failing to notice that the majority of Cubans see the Havana regime as the legitimate government and that the Havana regime has outlasted the Soviet Union by nearly thirty years.


Little Marco should realize that he doesn't have a chance in Hell of being elected to any government post in Cuba, now or ever.

Typical Trumpie diplomatic dumb-(cluckery) in action.

(CNS): Cruise lines are having to make adjustments to the itineraries for dozens of ships after the sudden change to US government policy on travel to Cuba. Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Holland America, Seabourn, NCL and MSC have all been impacted by the Trump administration’s new restrictions on Americans travelling to the neighbouring island, forcing cruise lines to remove the destination from itineraries and re-route ships. As a result, Grand Cayman could be replacing some of those Havana calls, increasing passenger numbers here just as the slow season begins.

...

According to industry media reports, the cruise lines were taken by surprise, with Norwegian Cruise stating that they shared the “disappointment and frustration” of their guests “caused by this unexpected change”, and were “surprised by this sudden modification to policy”.

Not only that, this ban also skyrocketed the price of all other cruises in the Carribean since people are scrambling to adjust there schedule.

Hope, we are able to go again once Trump is out of office.
