Trump has, of course, been bitterly critical of Obama’s Cuba diplomacy for opportunistic reasons. Will he really attempt to renegotiate the deal when he takes office?
I doubt it. Trump doesn’t care about human rights. Cuba doesn’t sponsor terrorism or run a large trade surplus with the US. There are plenty of business opportunities there for him and his friends. Increasing the standard of living in Cuba can help prevent immigration. In other words, there is every reason, from Trump’s perspective, to improve relations, and no reason to stop. Expect this issue to die quietly.
