News Analysis: The European Union may foster better relations with Cuba in the coming months. It is important to realize that the best way to implement change in a possible “adversary” is to engage ‘him’ repeatedly in a manner that benefits both parties.
The European Union can readily increase “Cross Atlantic” Trade thus improving its export levels. Cuba will benefit by the additional Agricultural Exports of: Beans, Cigars, Citrus, Coffee, Potatoes, Rice, and Sugar. In terms of mined products are: Cement, Cobalt, Nickel, and Petroleum. It also exports Agricultural Machinery and Pharmaceuticals.
This island of 109,820 km2 (42,401mi2) and a population of 11+ million people can surely benefit by retaining its Culture as it modifies its “Centralized Economy” to a modern “Market Economy”. One could expect to find an increase of Investors willing to place their monies in Cuban projects (as their comfort level increases); Good things can happen for Cuba.
Nothing Is Constant But Change.
Reality.
