I personally feel this is a good thing! We have conceded money to Cuba in return for??? Repealing the recent looseness of the Obama regime might show Cuba what they are possibly missing now and help them to settle things more quickly. I'm all for the normalization...but follow the process folks. Claims Paid, No Castro, Embargo lift. BOOM $$$

Trump pick for Secretary of State supports review of Cuba normalization policies

Rex Tillerson, former CEO and Chairman of Exxon Mobil, President-elect Trump’s nominee to serve as Secretary of State, said during his confirmation hearing he will support a review of all changes in Cuba policy made by President Obama, and that he would advise the President to veto bills lifting the embargo and the travel ban pending the end of the review.

Tillerson said in his opening remarks, “Our recent engagement with the government of Cuba was not accompanied by any significant concessions on human rights. …Their leaders received much, while their people received little. That serves neither the interest of Cubans or Americans.” During questioning by Senator Marco Rubio (FL), Mr. Tillerson also told Sen. Rubio that President-elect Trump plans to “ask all agencies, essentially on day one, to do a complete review of recent executive orders and the change of the status of travel to Cuba as well as business activities in Cuba.”

Mr. Tillerson also said that if confirmed he would “examine carefully the criteria” by which the State Department had removed Cuba from its list of State Sponsors of Terror in 2015 before deciding “whether or not that de-listing was appropriate, and whether or not the circumstances which led to that de-listing still exist.” Mr. Tillerson stated in response to questions from Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ) that he considered extradition of U.S. fugitives of justice a prerequisite for relations with Cuba.
