The U.S. delegation last week proposed bringing Starlink satellite internet to the island and allowing free connectivity. It also urged the Cuban regime to make economic changes to attract foreign capital, grow the private sector and transition to a market-based economy.

These economic changes, the State Department official said, would also need to include ways to compensate U.S. citizens and corporations that had assets and properties confiscated in the 1960s.

Cuba would also need to release political prisoners, the official added, and allow greater political freedom.

      Do you have any understanding of the past decade? Or do you need to go back a century to make a sense that clearly makes no sense right now?

      I mean if this eas the 70s you’d have a point. But the Obama admin proved you wrong while you desperately cling to a past that isn’t now.
