Trump ended Obama's "completely one-sided deal." Trump refuses to lift sanctions on Cuba until political prisoners are freed, freedom of assembly and expression are respected, all political parties are legalized, and they have free internationally supervised elections.
Trump vows to severely restrict U.S money from flowing into the "Castro Regime."
Watch the video to get a better idea of what Trump wants to achieve.
On paper everything Trump wants sounds great from a democratic point of view, but let me remind you of the hypocrisy of him and past presidents. He cites that Cuba is a communist country and the people have no liberty, but he just finished a visit to Saudi Arabia and had nothing but excellent things to say. Saudi Arabia is a magnitude worse when it comes to the lack of liberty and human rights violations. Women still can't drive, people can't choose their religion without threat of death, they condone modern day slavery, and have no open elections. Trump nor any president in recent history has seen anything wrong with that.
Is Trump being a hypocrite? Does Cuba deserve to be embargoed based on "lack of rights and communism"? Is Saudi Arabia an exception? What's your thoughts on this situation?
