That is a good question. Cuba does not have much to offer.

What he should be trying to get is a easing up on the totalitarian state...

Hard to see how Raul Castro lasts if that is done.

What does Cuba have that we want? Reparations for the properties they stole from us after the revolution?

They cannot even feed their own people.

What really pisses me off being a resident of Florida.

The cruise ships are DYING to travel to Cuba and at the same time the cruise industry has SOLD OUT American to Cuban extortion.

Hear me ... no country or entity in the Caribbean basin requires a passport for entry by ship (except Cuba). Not only does Cuba require a traveler to possess a passport, Cuba is allowed to charge a $80 fee every time for a one-time use visa to even dock as a passenger on a ship at Cuba. No island or Caribbean port gets this type of money or fee, only Cuba. And who pays that, not the cruise ship industry, the consumer, the American.

In a balanced market, the cruise lines should have told Cuba, you want tourist dollars, no visa ... be like every other port, extortion is not going to be paid by our passengers.
