This is long, long overdue.
Normalizing trade would allow us to actually make an improvement in the lives of Cubans, and I would expect over the course of a generation or two work to insert more freedoms into their lives.
I guess the Republicans are just pissed that we're not exporting "democracy" at gunpoint this time around?
It's perfectly explicable, to anyone without bias enough to characterize this as a "reward."

Quote:“The president’s decision to reward the Castro regime and begin the path toward the normalization of relations with Cuba is inexplicable,” Rubio said in a statement.
