Cubans in favor of continued thaw

HAVANA - Rumors have been hovering in the streets of Havana in the past few days about a possible rollback in the United States' policy toward the Caribbean island, reversing the historic detente initiated in 2014 by former president Barack Obama.

According to media reports, President Donald Trump is set to announce in Miami on Friday a rollback to the thaw between Washington and Havana, a promise he made during his election campaign last year.

For Cubans, this possible scenario would be a return to the past, marked by political confrontation and economic limitations due to the financial embargo that Washington has still imposed on the island.
