said before, he said he is digging in his heels and not allowing president obama s plan to bring about cultural and political change and if donald trump is confronting a new castro-leading cuba who doesn t want to allow sort of the americanization of the country, what does a president trump do? if u.s. countries are trying to establish ties that were started under president obama, how does a guy that promised more jobs and economic development, how do they hold that back without accounting with the missed economic opportunities? how do you unravel it? trump is set to resume his meetings with the potential administration positions on monday, and there s an in-fight here between rudy guiliani and mitt romney.
yesterday of 90. a let s bring back kerry sanders in little havana in miami where sell pwraecelebrations have bee since the news broke of castro s death. reporter: a lot of people were out here last night when the news broke and a lot of people went home to sleep and it s now beginning to wake back up and you can hear people honking horns as they go by here, and it s a little rough to walk down k street, and we are going to back up here, and you can see, i am the son of the great cuba right here, and we re going to sort of come up here on the sidewalk. excuse me. sir, how do you feel right now? it s a mix of emotions and personally i think that it s unfortunate that nature took him away, but i think this may be the beginning of the end of the castro regimes in cuba, and the
