Long Response: 

Newly elected president, Donald Trump wants to terminate the newly obtained relations with Cuba. Obama originally initiated this relation and it has lead to some great things. For example Monday, the first commercial flight to Cuba landed in Havana for the first time in 50 years. Donald Trump now wants to obliterate these relations because he tweeted that Cuba needs to make a better deal for Americans in order for these relations to continue. Trump aides say that nothing is set in stone in relation to Cuba. I think cutting of relations with Cuba is the one of the worst and most stupid things Trump can do. It is basically undoing work that Obama accomplished plus it will just continue the tension between our two nations and completely diminish the progress we have already made. I think that backing off would not do good to Cuban Americans because that is the area they originated from and I would believe there is family and other value in Cuba there for them. Therefore diminishing relations in Cuba would prevent these people from reaching there with ease. I think Cuba would be a cool place to visit because Islands are always pretty and I do not know much about the nation other then the tension between the U.S. and Cuba. Our relation with Cuba has helped the commercial airline industry and a flow of information between the two countries.
