Cuba News – Post Trump Dump

Waiting and hoping to include some good news in CME-Abroad’s “last” post about Continuing Medical Education in Cuba for 2017, but the news got from bad to worse, starting with https://theintercept.com/2017/06/16/trump-cuba-embargo-reverse-obama-opening/

To be clear:

1. YOUR TRAVEL AFFIDAVIT/LICENSE WAS and still IS legally listed under EDUCATIONAL/Scientific category.

2. TO DATE: NO TRUMP CHANGES have been executed, or expected until 2018.

3. TO DATE: No official list of approved hotels have been supplied by OFAC.

But let’s not waste time attempting to work around a stinky system by using foreign owned hotels or local AirBnBs. Things could change overnight. as they have repeatedly. At this time in political history, I suggest you postpone your visit to Cuba, unless it’s for humanitarian reasons.

Last week, Embassy diplomats leaving Havana to accept posts Spain and Canada:
