From Associated Press:
A senator’s office says President Barack Obama plans to loosen Cuban travel policy to allow students and church groups to go to the communist country.
A spokesman for Sen. Bill Nelson said the State Department briefed Nelson’s staff on the changes Friday.
They also include allowing any American to send up to $2,000 a year to Cuban citizens who are not part of the Castro government and are not members of the Communist Party.
Nelson spokesman Dan McLaughlin said the State Department told the staff that the changes will take place within the next three weeks.
The Obama administration had no immediate comment.
The hard left has been campaigning for this for years.
As most of the student and “church” groups who want to go to Cuba are on the far left anyway, this will simply help the Castro brothers train and indoctrinate an even larger “5th column” within the U.S.
NO. This is not a good thing.
This is the right way to deepen the connection between the inhabitants of Cuba and their family members in the US. I think the US government should devote much more attention to similar decisions.
I hope this doesn’t backfire on the US….
