Donald Trump vows to end US-Cuba deal unless Havana makes better one

Live Mint  

Washington/Havana: US president-elect Donald Trump said in a tweet on Monday he would end the US’ “deal” with Cuba unless a better one was made, reflecting his campaign pledge to reverse President Barack Obama’s moves to open relations with the Cold War adversary. On Saturday, Trump, a Republican, said in a statement that his administration would “do all it can” once he takes office on 20 January to boost freedom and prosperity for Cubans after Castro’s death. The statement sidestepped whether Trump would follow through on a threat made late in his White House campaign to reverse Obama’s diplomatic thaw with the island nation, leading some to view it as a softening from his campaign rhetoric toward the country. Castro’s death has led some Cubans to worry that Trump will shut down the US-Cuban trade and travel ties that have begun to emerge in the past two years since Obama’s historic declaration.
