News Analysis: Mariel, Cuba, readies its Deep Draft Harbor for arrival of larger ships. It is merely 35 kilometers [22 miles] west of Havana’s International Airport. As such, Global Customers will find it convenient to engage in discussions, in Mariel, with the Cubans.
The Archaic U.S. Embargo should be immediately trashed as a Worthless Anachronism of past Myopic “Cold War” Thinking. Beyond hurting the Cuban People, it created an “Ogre Image” of America. Such maintained “Juvenile” Behavior by the United States has harmed, and is presently harming, relations with other countries in both Central and South America [and elsewhere as well].
The Administration in Washington, D.C. should realize that International Trade leads to increased wealth for Countries. America needs jobs NOW for its citizens as well as more inflow of funds from increased commerce. Negative rhetoric creates no jobs; Willing trade, amongst nations, does.
There is no “Insignificant Country” when it comes to importance of Global Commerce. A Large Beach is made from many Small Grains of Sand.
