Cuba Embargo

Why Cuba Could Be a Big Win for Hillary Clinton?

The wise thing for the Republican Party leadership in the Senate would be to allow Mr. Rubio to make as much noise as he wants on this question, but not to let Cuba policy dominate the next Congress. If, however, the party allows Mr. Rubio to lead them down the blind alley of fighting to continue the embargo, it will be a big win for Hillary Clinton.

Marco Rubio’s Big Nightmare Comes True

The quandary for Mr. Rubio is that politically he cannot abandon his base of Cuban Americans, despite the reality that they are, in the long term, on the losing side of this issue. However, if Cuba policy remains an issue in front of Congress for several months, Mr. Rubio will become known among many as simply the pro-embargo politician. This is no way for a senator to build a national profile or presidential candidacy, especially a senator who is now the only second most well known possible presidential candidate from his state.

El Museo del Barrio’s Director On What Restored US-Cuba Relations Mean For Museums

This morning President Barack Obama announced that long strained relations with Cuba would be mended, and full diplomatic relations with the island nation restored. However, an embargo on Cuban goods, both imports and exports, will remain, though travel restrictions will ease and some imports will be allowed. So what does all this mean for the art world and its instiutions? We turned to Jorge Daniel Veneciano, the executive director of New York’s leading institution for Latino culture El Museo del Barrio, for some perspective.
