I traveled to Cuba a couple of times, the last being for a diving vacation over 12 years ago, and the Cubans had been building new hotels and resorts for Canadian and European vacationers since it dawned on senior Cuban officials that tourism was a good way to increase wealth. I don’t doubt that Donnie and some of his donors think to acquire control of those properties and stiffing the European partners through typically shady means in the process.
