Biden hurting Cubans in U.S. as well as in Cuba

President Biden may come off as the loveable, sensible grandfather we’ve come to revere this year on many critical issues America faces. But for Cuban Americans he’s a heartless Grinch.

He’s continued Trump’s deplorable policy of cutting off remittances of money from Cuban Americans to their long suffering relatives and friends in a Cuba being strangled by Uncle Sam’s 7 decade embargo.

Trump initiated the curtailment of such remittances in 2017. He wasn’t a bit concerned about the Cuban people or the regime. Cutting off the flow of money was simply a way to fulfill a campaign promise to reverse Obama’s sensible Cuban détente.

Biden campaigned against Trump’s despicable actions. But once sworn in he decided to keep them in place. He’s even ratcheted sanctions up including further restrictions on the flow of Cuban American dollars south to ease American fostered pain.

To Cuban Americans trying to help their friends and relatives in Cuba, Biden’s actions give the lie to his unwarranted posturing about his decency and common sense.
