a large number of businesses within cuba there are also some u.s. firms involved in cuba which could fall prey to legislation that arises as a result of the state department decision and of course this is a reversal from the policies of barack obama who normalized relations with cuba. well indeed yes the administration did intend to normalize as you put it relations with cuba towards an end to sanctions it was an opening up of the relationship between the u.s. and cuba this has all been walked back by the current administration president trump insisting that unlike barack obama he does not see cuba as a potential friend he sees it as an enemy this born art as well by its accusations that it continues to support other nations that the trumpet ministration views as hostile as i mentioned nicaragua and venezuela so certainly this is
12:10 am
a complete reversal of the policy that had emerged during the years but remembering too that these precise sanctions that have now been liberated if one wants to put it like that were also signal subject of waivers by previous administrations that of george w. bush that of the bill clinton so this in itself is a reversal of a u.s. policy as practiced by various administrations for more than thirty years ok mike hanna thank you. and speaking of and as well of the first shipment of humanitarian aid from the red cross has now arrived in the country president nicolas maduro and the opposition have been accused the politicizing a delivery during their power struggle jim r.c.l. means people trying to survive any crisis hit economy. this pharmacy in caracas isn't closed the metal bars are there because medicine has become one of the most valuable commodities for the working class and the poor places like this
