    It will happen.
    My bet is that the US will make more concessions than Cuba.
    Many US corporations are salivating at the new business prospects.
    A large number Cubans living in the US still have relatives in Cuba
    So... I expect there will soon be relaxed restrictions on money flow to Cuban relatives.
    Read US/Cuban update....

    Money restrictions and debit and credit card use has been loosened last week. The is hardly a demographic in Cuba the American businesses are salivating over. a population of barely 12 million, I hardly think they have the money to buy, at least for now. I would say business is more likely to relocate there the manufacture....cheap labor and low import costs. American businesses will the the impetus to Cuban middle class growth which in turn will turn on the dictators. They will eventually demand elections.
