“Sadly, Cuba's most prominent export these days is not cigars or rum, it's oppression. Detente with the regime has failed.” About one million Canadians annually vacation in Cuba and Toronto-based resource company Sherritt International is long established there, while countries such as Britain, France and Spain have companies active in rum, cigars and tourism.During a recent trip to Washington, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland met with Pompeo to discuss the possible negative consequences for Canadian companies if the U.S. were to resurrect Title III, officials said.
good. tough shit for them operating in a country that has a ruthless dictatorship enslaving it's people.
It was about time every dollar invested or spent in Cuba goes straight in to the pockets of the longest running dictatorship in the Americas to benefit the few families that control that country.
