I’ve just been alerted (by a Cuban-American friend) that Cuba has prematurely shut down the petroleum agreement they had with Canada.
Pebercan had prospected for the petroleum and signed an agreement with the Cuban government for shared development rights, from 1993 – 2018. It was announced Friday in the Cuban business media and Reuters picked it up, that the Cubans have trashed the agreement. My friend says the Cubans have made a new deal with the Russians. What, they couldn’t wait until this deal ran its course?
I’ve got to say, I’m really ticked. I’d say anyone who vacations in Cuba after this is just telling the Cuban government that it doesn’t matter how Canada is treated, or whether they are honest in their dealings with us.
Was your cheap vacation partially funded by this act of dishonesty? Think about it . . . . and pass this on. (If new developments somehow vindicate the Cubans in this, I’ll be sure to pass on that information too.)
