Bush administration but disappeared with that of Barack Obama); and an increase in the degree of danger in the advisory state for travel to Cuba that, theoretically, every American must take into account when traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this setting, Bolton could extend the measures in effect since <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba-ee-uu\/ee-uu-titulo-iii-de-la-ley-helms-burton-y-reforzara-el-bloqueo-contra-cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a month and a half ago<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and announce the return of Cuba to the list of countries that sponsor terrorist activities, and the inclusion of Cuban citizens in a &#8220;blacklist,&#8221; called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasury.gov\/resource-center\/sanctions\/sdn-list\/pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SDN List<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals and family members on this list are prevented from entering the United States or doing business related to the United States at a global level and usually include individuals allegedly linked to terrorist activities, drug trafficking or undemocratic policies. In this case, the United States intends to populate the list with Cuban government officials who have worked in Venezuela.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to John Kavulich, director of the U.S. Cuba Trade and Economic Council (USCTEC), the reasoning behind the requirement that American companies pay their employees directly is that &#8220;if companies have profits in foreign currency, their employees must charge in the same currency,&#8221; be it in dollars, euros or convertible pesos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now this opens two doors. Cuban law obliges foreign companies to hand over to a state entity the salary of their employees in foreign currency and then this entity pays them in Cuban pesos. Who will foreign companies obey? It is a dilemma because it puts American companies in the middle but that is a space where they have lived for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/default.mi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marriot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> company can tell the administration that this is not the way Cubans authorize wage payments. Trump can answer that it can do as it wants but it has to leave Cuba. The problem is that it is a difficult decision because Marriot is just an operator, not an owner, so it cannot sue anyone in the United States for demanding that,&#8221; Kavulich explained to OnCuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now then, &#8220;if the Cubans accept to change the payment system, then the Spaniards, the Japanese, the Canadians, all the foreign partners are going to start demanding the same and the administration can start saying it came out victorious.&#8221; The other possibility is that &#8220;the Cubans tell Marriot to leave,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case there is a way to turn the matter around. Airlines can close their ticket offices and transfer that task to other airline partners. American Airlines, for example, is associated with Iberia in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneworld.com\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One World<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> alliance and all its flights are in the code share system. Cruise companies can pass on the ground staff niche to a foreign company that manages that market. But deep down it is not a pressing detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The important thing here is that the tone of the pressure has changed. U.S. policy toward Cuba since 1959 has always been the same, depriving the Cuban government of financial resources. The less money they have, the less they will develop, survive. And now the question is to put pressure on Cuba so that Maduro leaves. And they have to do something because if they don\u2019t, then the administration starts to have credibility problems and we are already in the election process,&#8221; Kavulich emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The complete Title III, yes or no?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is assumed that on April 17, while Bolton is going to Miami, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will inform Congress if the administration will continue the postponement of the limited application of Title III of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/563a4585e4b00d0211e8dd7e\/t\/563a8687e4b0eb98d9a62005\/1446676103069\/libertad.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helms-Burton<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Act or if it lifts what little of it remains to apply and thus expands the ability to sue, in U.S. courts, foreign companies &#8221;trafficking&#8221; with U.S. properties nationalized at the start of the Cuban Revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the time being only those foreign companies that have interests in Cuban facilities that are on a special list, known as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/e\/eb\/tfs\/spi\/cuba\/cubarestrictedlist\/290163.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuba Restricted List<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all under military administration, can be brought to court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also possible that the administration authorizes that the Cuban government be directly sued. This is a striking aspect towards a possible Cuban-American claimant but it is a very difficult sentence to hand down because the chances of Havana even appearing in a court under U.S. jurisdiction is null.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I am one of those who believes that Title III is already in force in its entirety but the administration has no authority to be selective in its application. But in the last few weeks they have created the expectation that the time has come and something big is coming. They know they have to do something and that can be the expansion of the universe of demands,&#8221; said the director of the USCTEC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The administration\u2019s change in philosophy in relation to Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s withdrawal from power is precisely what is driving the Trump administration\u2019s need to put more pressure on Havana. A maneuver that Kavulich considers &#8220;very intelligent&#8221; because it puts congress people and senators, who are opposed, in a difficult situation because, after all, &#8220;nobody in the Capitol wants to appear now as supporting Maduro or (the Cuban president) Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel. This is a challenge the administration has sent to its opponents in Congress,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big question is the reaction of the European partners, whose businesspeople are protected by national laws from the extraterritorial application of the Helms-Burton Act, or the Japanese and Canadians. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/european-union\/index_es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">European Union <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can react but the truth is that the Trump administration has made it clear that what matters to them is negotiating by beginning to accept their conditions. It has happened with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nato.int\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NATO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), with China and even North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a very narrow corridor. But you can also find an intermediate point. The administration can say that if bad business practices are eliminated, such as not paying directly employees in Cuba, then we can be less aggressive. It&#8217;s a matter of waiting,&#8221; Kavulich speculates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolton is going to Miami on April 17. He will announce something; the city is swarming with speculations. The question is how deep the announcement will be and whether or not it will have an impact on Cuba and Venezuela.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House is preparing to launch a new package of economic measures that will affect U.S. companies operating in Cuba.
