>A company controlled by Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, secretly conducted business in Communist Cuba during Fidel Castro’s presidency despite strict American trade bans that made such undertakings illegal, according to interviews with former Trump executives, internal company records and court filings.
>Documents show that the Trump company spent a minimum of $68,000 for its 1998 foray into Cuba at a time when the corporate expenditure of even a penny in the Caribbean country was prohibited without U.S. government approval.
>But the company did not spend the money directly. Instead, with Trump’s knowledge, executives funneled the cash for the Cuba trip through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corp. Once the business consultants traveled to the island and incurred the expenses for the venture, Seven Arrows instructed senior officers with Trump’s company—then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts—how to make it appear legal by linking it after the fact to a charitable effort.

>At the time, Americans traveling to Cuba had to receive specific U.S. government permission, which was granted only for an extremely limited number of purposes, such as humanitarian efforts. Neither an American nor a company based in the United States could spend any cash in Cuba; instead, a foreign charity or similar sponsoring entity needed to pay all expenses, including travel. Without obtaining a license from the federal Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) before the consultants went to Cuba, the undertaking by Trump Hotels would have been in violation of federal law, trade experts say.
>A former Trump executive who spoke on condition of anonymity says the company did not obtain a government license prior to the trip. Internal documents show that executives involved in the Cuba project were still discussing the need for federal approval after the trip had taken place.
>OFAC officials say there is no record that the agency granted any such license to the companies or individuals involved, although they cautioned that some documents from that time have been destroyed. Yet one OFAC official, who agreed to discuss approval procedures if granted anonymity, says the probability that the office would grant a license for work on behalf of an American casino is “essentially zero.”

This is interesting, but it can easily be spun into talking about smarter trade regulations, not outright banning opportunities.
Normies won't care in the slightest though.

Im american and I went to cuba 4 years ago before Obama even began to talk about opening trade and travel up. There are a few flights out of miami every day to cuba. It is far more open than most people know, understand, or believe. Fuck, my godmother has gone to cuba twice in 5 years.
John Perez
Castro's a pretty cool guy though

You underestimate how many Cubans don't give a shit and will literally vote anything but democrat because of Kennedy and Bay of Pigs.
You underestimate how many Cubans who came from the revolution are business people and will just see this as a gringo being good at business.
>source
>is cuban in florida
Asher Baker
I should add.
Cubans didn't even give a shit when it was revealed that Marco Rubio had lied for years that his family fled the Communist Revolution, when in fact they fled year earlier (and were probably fucking commies themselves, as a result).
If you're Republican, they will vote for you.
Caleb Mitchell
next thing I know you'll be telling me rich people buy ambassadorships and FBI directors cover up crimes for politicians. Fuck outta here

Might be a big deal if Obama didn't already brag aboutimproving relations with Cuba part of his legacy.
Obama told us the embargo was stupid and trading with Cuba is a great thing. Trump agreeing with him can't possibly be a bad thing now.
Landon Gonzalez
I don't care, I just saw it in the news and I thought I'd post it, since no one else did.
Dominic Watson
What do people think that posting this information here will accomplish?
Charles Diaz
My honeymoon was in Cuba in 2013. The hardest part was convincing my wife it wasn't a dangerous place. She loved it. Excellent scenery, lack of obnoxious tourists at the hotel, and some of the best food I ever had.
The locals were very fucking nice to us.
Asher Gray
Dunno, discuss it? Could be a big deal or maybe not.
John Brooks
This is the end of Trump's campaign for sure this time.
Gabriel Hernandez
No one gives a shit about the Cuban embargo.

This just demonstrates how panicked Bill Clinton's machine is now.
Daniel Watson
>he thinks trump wasnt faking this entire time to ensure clintons win
why do you think he's purposely been shitting all over his campaign for a week straight now? this is all part of the plan
Kayden Thomas
I think this will basically make Trump's argument that Clinton broke the law weaker, if he is suspected to have broken the law too.
Adrian Butler
Good for Trump for violating such stupid and poverty inducing laws.
And I'm voting thrid party due to hard blue state and wish he wasn't the only thing standing in Hillary's way and thinks the majority of his platform is stupid and damaging to the US but is out of ignorance not malice like Hillary

That is a good thing. the only thing that defeats communism is capitalism. And there should be no embargo. and he will argue it that way.

Easton Bennett
The document seems very suspiciously specific.
>Here Mr Trump is the cost of our illegal trip to Cuba
>Also here is the cost of our casino gambling scheme, which for some reason is half of the illegal trip
If real it just seem to confirm it isnt a big deal at all to travel to Cuba, and just needs a technicality to be alright
Gabriel Ramirez
Ay, fuck the Venezuelan diaspora coming in droves

If this is all they have, I'm worried about Hillary. To be honest, I thought it was fairly even. But this is clearly desperation.
Voters don't care about embargos

Wait, so the premise is Nobel Prize Winner Obama is celebrated universally for lifting the Embargo, but Donald Trump is a bad guy for violating an embargo that im sure not even the writer supported?
Havent read yet, but i just want a justification for this.
Anthony Turner
So... is paying expenses for a business trip considered 'doing business' with Cuba?
Christian Wood
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH EEEEEEEEEEEM GEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS WILL BE THE END OF TRUMP HAHAHA HE DOESNT STAND A CHANCE NOW RIGHT?!?!?!?...right??

Indeed. Still 1/10 of hillarys transgressions.

Our embargo is so ridiculous maybe
The idea a US citizen cant travel to a country even if its from another country that allows it fucking stupid

WRT the Cuba shit the MSM is shilling:
>In the late 1990’s, the Bill Clinton Administration was licensing and encouraging U.S. companies to take scouting trips to Cuba, with the hope they would return and lobby Congress to ease the sanctions that he codified into law in 1996
> washingtonpost.com
>Trump's Hotel & Casino company hired a consulting firm, Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corporation ("Seven Arrows"), to do a scouting trip to Cuba in 1998
>In order to legally do this, Seven Arrows would need an OFAC license
They didn’t have one. That’s the only real issue here. Everything they did, even going to Cuba, was legal with said OFAC license.
That’s the violation. Trying to tie it back to Trump personally would require proof he was aware that the 3rd party consulting firm, 7 Arrows, didn’t have the necessary license before the fact.
Good summary:
>capitolhillcubans.com
It’s virtually certain that contract between Trump Hotels and Casinos and 7 Arrows had standard boilerplate requiring 7 Arrows to obtain all necessary licenses to do they work they contracted for.
Tyler Turner
Hillary babbles about putin while simult taking bribes to offload uranium to them.
But muh cuba
Carter Fisher
Hey CTR, if you push this narrative, we will make sure everyone in the country knows that Hillary was on the board of directors with a French industrial giant, Lafarge, who bought Oil directly from ISIS. They also supplied cement for ISIS to sell in Syria,. You CAN'T make this up.
