June 3 update: Raúl Castro turns 95
Raúl Castro, the former president of Cuba, turns 95 years old Wednesday under the shadow of a criminal indictment from the U.S. and an uncertain future for Cuba with the legacy of his brother, Fidel Castro, on his shoulders.
June 1 update: Looking to the future: Should Cuban Americans invest in Cuba?
A few months ago, Cuba’s Vice Minister Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, who is the grand-nephew of Raúl Castro, invited Cuban Americans in exile to invest in Cuba.
In 2019, the Cuban government amended their constitution to allow foreign investment. However, they did not change their laws to protect the investments.
Therefore, the risks to invest in Cuba remain greater than the opportunities.
