Travel to Cuba, or Lack Thereof
New regulations on travel to Cuba make it even harder for people to travel to the country. The new regulations, pushed by Cuban-American Republicans as well as the President were set in place to hasten the downfall of Fidel Castro.
Under these new rules, that go into effect next Wednesday, limit Cuban-Americans to one trip, to visit relatives, every three years, up from one trip every year. It also makes it nearly impossible for non-relatives and most other people to visit. The spending limits are significantly lower as well. U.S. Residents may only spend $50 a day, along with $50 for transportation. Those who are found in violation of any of this may be fined $4000.
