Hare Publishes Op-Ed on Future US-Cuba Relations
Ambassador Paul Hare, Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published as op-ed in the
Orlando Sentinel on the prospects of United States-Cuba relations under President-elect Joe Biden.
In the article, titled “Will Cuba policy matter for the Biden administration,” Hare and co-author Andy Gomez – a retired professor of Cuban studies and Dean of International Studies at the University of Miami – discuss the Biden administrations strategy towards Cuba and how they might return to the negotiating table. Cuba is not a top priority for President-elect Biden; however, the administration must be quick to disavow the growing influence of Russia, China, and other adversaries in Cuba. At the same time, Hare and Gomez argue that Cuba must be proactive in order to facilitate foreign investment, travel, and a return to diplomatic normalcy with the U.S..
