OINT STATEMENT: The Washington Office on Latin America and the Center for Democracy in the Americas publish “The United States and Cuba: A New Policy of Engagement”

WASHINGTON- The Washington Office on Latin America and the Center for Democracy in the Americas 

Today the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Center for Democracy in the Americas (CDA) are releasing “The United States and Cuba: A New Policy of Engagement,” a roadmap for how the Biden-Harris administration can implement a policy of engagement toward Cuba. Six years after President Barack Obama’s December 17, 2014 announcement that he would begin normalizing relations with Cuba, we continue to emphasize the importance of engagement to advance the interests of the U.S. and of the Cuban people. Engagement accomplished more in two years than the policy of hostility achieved in sixty, and is a more effective strategy to advance the cause of human rights, political liberty, and economic reform. Engagement will facilitate family ties, cultural exchange, and commercial relations, expanding the market for U.S. businesses, raising the standard of living for the Cuban people, and encouraging economic reform on the island. A new policy of engagement entails relatively little political risk and has the potential to mobilize a wide variety of constituencies in support. Our report expands on why Cuba should be a priority, why a variety of bipartisan stakeholders including the business community, Congress, and Cuban Americans support policies of engagement. The roadmap lays out a series of sequenced recommendations in three sections “Repairing the Damage: The First Nine Months,” “Taking the Initiative: The Second Year,” and “Finishing the Job: A Legislative Agenda” detailing how the Biden-Harris administration can move quickly to implement much-needed change in U.S.-Cuba policy.

  3. Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites? I have a blog based on the same topics you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.

  4. There are actually plenty of details like that to take into consideration. That is a nice level to carry up. I offer the thoughts above as normal inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you deliver up where the most important thing will likely be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around issues like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both girls and boys really feel the impact of only a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

  7. Thanks for your concepts. One thing really noticed is that banks plus financial institutions have in mind the spending behaviors of consumers plus understand that the majority of people max outside their credit cards around the holidays. They smartly take advantage of that fact and start flooding a person’s inbox and snail-mail box together with hundreds of no interest APR credit card offers just after the holiday season closes. Knowing that if you are like 98 of all American public, you’ll leap at the one opportunity to consolidate financial debt and shift balances towards 0 apr interest rates credit cards.

  8. Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we have developed some nice methods and we are looking to exchange solutions with others, why not shoot me an email if interested.
