Is President Biden’s Cuba Policy Enough or Not Enough?

(Note from El Equipo: This survey has ended. The results are below.) Here’s what you said about how you think Biden is handling the current Cuba situation: President Biden has been catching a lot of slack for his Cuba policy. Even before, but definitely since the July 11th protests in Cuba, he’s being accused by liberals of not doing enough to loosen the noose on the island and carrying out Trump’s policies. Hardliners have pressured him to intervene and even take a military stance to make changes in the Cuban government. And, while this domestication of international policy takes place, the only people suffering are the Cuban people.

There are short and long-term humanitarian, economic and political ramifications to whatever he does. He’ll never be fast enough for some or aggressive enough for others. Yet, despite being caught a bit with his pants down in July, we think he’s taking a logical, measured approach to figure out how best to handle a very complicated situation. Of course, that’s why we wanted to know what you think.
