It also means that Bermuda, tried to arrange a sale to Cuba for its used buses, until the U.S. State Department heard about it and had Latin Affairs specialist (who used to be an aide for Southern mega-racist asshole Senator Jesse Helms) Roger Noriega apply heavy threats via the ambassador informing them they could kiss off their foreign aid, and get a whole lot worse levels of revenge action if they didn't cancel those bus sales to Cuba on the spot.

Bermuda complied, caved it, and of course Cuba continued to have to make do, for the time, with its own domestic stock of home-made buses, called "camelos."
