They want to restrict Cubans from returning and especially from making profit but I think they are afraid to really end the Adjustment Act. They're in a pickle!

I did think later after posting that this must be a very small market. There just isn't that much money in Havana to go around for US small business at this point.

And I guess it was always inevitable that the Cubans would try to keep the profits generated and the control to themselves.
