Despite President Trump’s re-tightening U.S. policies toward Cuba, construction industry firms and heavy-equipment makers still hope there will be avenues to provide products and services there.
Trump’s June 16 announcement that he is “canceling the last administration’s completely one-sided deal with Cuba” seeks to undo parts of President Obama’s initiative, announced in December 2014, to reestablish links with that country. The moves include restricting travel to Cuba generally to groups, not individuals, and banning U.S. firms from working with organizations controlled by its military.
