Cuba Review finally returns this week after a long hiatus. In the interim months, U.S. policy toward Cuba has been mired in paralysis and partisan posturing, while Cuba itself has been shaken by unprecedented social, economic and political upheaval.
Besieged on multiple fronts, the Cuban government appears to be finally winning the battle against the spread of Covid-19 and is accelerating long-delayed economic and legal reforms, even as it confronts an increasingly impatient public demanding greater rights and systemic changes.
As the Biden administration starts to look past domestic legislative priorities and prepares to act on other agenda items, it appears the fate of U.S.-Cuba relations, in the short-term at least, hinges on how the Cuban government ultimately handles a nationwide protest march being organized by pro-democratic activists on November 15. The signs so far are not encouraging.
These are historic times and we’re glad to be back to bring you up to speed on them, here on our latest newsletter.
