Castro made no mention of the Kerry visit, the “slight” possibly a way to make known his dissatisfaction that missing from the normalization of diplomatic relations is that the trade embargo (1962; enacted three years following Castro overthrowing a US backed regime) is still in place.
President Barack Obama wants Congress to lift it, although US officials say this will take time and is not an automatic part of the restoration of ties, as it requires congressional action.
Many Republicans, who control both chambers of the legislature, oppose the idea, insisting Cuba has to improve its human rights record and make other democratic reforms.”
Castro goes on to say:
“Cuba is owed compensation equivalent to damages, which total many millions of dollars, as our country has stated with irrefutable arguments and data in all of its speeches at the United Nations.
Cuban dissidents protested Sunday wearing Barack Obama masks, claiming the US is abandoning them. One former political prisoner, Angel Moya, said the US has left the Communist regime even more emboldened, and is arresting protesters who are peacefully demonstrating for Democracy. Moya was arrested Sunday along with other protesters.
