"It's an administration that's not afraid to break with what are considered to be the normal ways of doing business in international diplomacy," said Mark Agnew, the chamber's director of international policy. Canadian businesses should brace for the activation of the Title III section of Helms Burton, even though it has essentially remained dormant for 23 years, said Mark Entwistle, a business consultant in Cuba who served as Canadian envoy to Havana in the 1990s.There is strong opposition to activating Title III among the U.S. business and agricultural leaders, but that might not be enough, Entwistle said.
Several foreign countries, including Canada, have invested in Cuba during the more than 50 years since the U.S. froze relations and imposed an economic embargo. Obama relaxed the embargo and began normalizing relations with Cuba, but Trump has rolled that back. "It could be a financial transaction that has a point of connection with someone in Cuba, which is now the owner of the property that we nationalized in 1960. It could be a financial, a trade operation. It could be investment — it could be anything," said Cuba's ambassador to Canada, Josefina Vidal.
"It is a very obvious clear violation of international law, of the rules of international trade and the sovereignty of states."In 1996, Canada, the European Union and Mexico reacted"in a very strong way" to Title III, which helped encourage then-president Bill Clinton to postpone it, she said.
