Despite campaign promises on Cuba, President Biden has not opened paths on the remittances and travel some say would most help islanders.
As more Cubans arrive at the border, President Trump is pushing them back to Mexico and deporting them to Cuba despite railing against the government there.
“There is no direct way to do it, and the process is intricate, expensive and cumbersome,” said María Isabel Alfonso, a Cuban American who teaches Cuban culture at St. Joseph’s College in New York. She works with a group that advocates engagement with Cuba but does not support the government.
One area in which the administration appears likely to move more quickly is repopulating the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The administration is also insisting on uncensored access to the internet for Cuban citizens, who report frequent cuts in service that many think is aimed at silencing dissidents. The Cuban government blames a weak system and electrical outages.
Last week, Price confirmed that the recommendations on remittances had been sent to the White House “some number of weeks ago” but offered no timeline for when action might be taken. “It is an issue that is not uncomplicated,” he said.
