Trump admin imposes new travel restrictions on Cuba
Trump admin imposes new travel restrictions on Cuba

(CNN)The US announced major new restrictions on US citizens traveling to Cuba on Tuesday.
The new regulations announced by the Treasury will block the most common way Americans are able to visit the island through organized tour groups that license US citizens to travel automatically.
These regulatory changes were originally announced on April 17. At the time, White House national security adviser John Bolton said the Treasury Department would "implement further regulatory changes to restrict non-family travel to Cuba."
The new restrictions will prohibit cruise ship passengers whose trips are arranged as organized tours.
The Trump administration recently allowed US companies and Cuban-Americans to sue companies using property that was seized after the 1959 Cuban revolution, including cruise ship terminals and airports.
Carnival Cruise Line was the first company to be sued under Title III of the Helms-Burton law, which previous administrations had waived.
This story is breaking and will be updated.

I had no problem getting there, on my own. No tour group or nothin'.
I'd encourage our UJ communists-in-training to see it for themselves. Cuba is full of surprises.

It's a stupid policy that should have been reversed decades ago. No surprise that Trump expands a stupid policy.

The revolutionary museum in Havana is amazing. Radios, weapons, bullet-ridden vehicles. Overthrowing the government and fighting against the US was done by very brave men and women.

Re: Trump admin imposes new travel restrictions on Cuba
I'd love to see the culture and history there. I worked a few weeks with a French guy who was based there, he liked it a lot but did say there were shortages of miscellaneous things anytime he went shopping.Charliesheen wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:32 pm The revolutionary museum in Havana is amazing.

Cognitive dissonance.
Hacked dem emails were caused by a child's play phishing email. Not much of a war if your adversary is thst fuckin' stoopid.
