to block any move made to soften the embargo.. so Kerry may not want to waste time there but somehow I think he'll figure out a way to improve things. The Cubans trust him much more than Hillary and they had a bad experience with Susan Rice who was somewhat arrogant with them. Kerry understands the situation much better, I'm not sure what role Hagel would play.
