President Trump has placed some restrictions on travel to Cuba, but has not entirely undone the changes that former President Obama made in his second term:
In an overhaul of one of his predecessor's signature legacies, President Donald Trump will redraw U.S. policy toward Cuba on Friday, tightening travel restrictions for Americans that had been loosened under President Barack Obama and banning U.S. business transactions with Cuba's vast military conglomerate.
Trump's changes are intended to sharply curtail cash flow to the Cuban government and pressure its communist leaders to let the island's fledgling private sector grow. Diplomatic relations reestablished by Obama, including reopened embassies in Washington and Havana, will remain. Travel and money sent by Cuban Americans will be unaffected, but Americans will be unable to spend money in state-run hotels or restaurants tied to the military, a significant prohibition.
Editorials for and against the rollback.

Oh cry harder. I've learned not to engage in substantive discussion with the worst degenerates because they don't have anything to say and can't stay on topic, so all that's left to do is insult them. Got a problem with me? De-lurk and use your real name and we can discuss things, assuming you're capable of it. Otherwise lie down and cry about it.

Just so you know, I'm not the AC above. But, I am highly amused by this whole discussion. ☺

You're the kind of guy who's highly amused by his own toejam, so that's not really a reliable metric. Don't you have some Duplo to be playing with somewhere? Or was that taken away from you after you tried to eat one?

It's good that springtime is past. At least you're not inquiring about my anatomy any more.

There's not much to inquire about, I'm told :D

Hate to say this, but she's telling you that to spare your feelings, such as they are.

Okay, we're done here. You're so far out in left field you've somehow ended up by the concession stand. Wake me up when you're capable of coherent thought again (in other words, never).
