Is this a negotiating tactic to allow a Trump golf course in Cuba?

But there are divisions within his administration over to what extent he should go, especially given that Obama’s opening to Washington’s former Cold War foe has created opportunities for American companies ranging from telecommunications to airlines.

Some aides have argued that Trump, a former real estate magnate who won the presidency promising to unleash U.S. businesses and create jobs, would have a hard time defending any moves that close off the Cuban market.

A group of 54 U.S. senators reintroduced legislation last Thursday to repeal all remaining restrictions on travel to Cuba, signaling support for U.S.-Cuba detente on Capitol Hill.


There is little support in the administration, however, for a full-scale reversal of Obama's steps that began with a breakthrough with Cuban President Raul Castro in 2014.

Fifty years of sanctions by the US have not had any impact on Cuban behavior (and didn't Trump campaign against interfering within the affairs of other countries?). Re-imposing the items Obama relaxed would also likely have no impact. I am hoping to go visit Cuba at some time.

New administrations are pretty good at finding the tiny arguably good things the scumbags before them actually did, and reversing those while leaving everything else intact.
