There appears to be a whole lot more on Tillerson's firing than meets the eye. Not just the Iran deal but in Cuba.
“The general approach (of the Trump administration) if I can say that, is to allow as much of this (Obama’s) continued commercial and engagement activity (with Cuba) to go on as possible because we do see the sunny side, as I described it. We do see the benefits of that to the Cuban people.”(Sec. of State Rex Tillerson, Jun. 17, 2017.)
Hummmmmm?….Now check this out:
“Multiple sources tell FP (Foreign Policy magazine) the (Trump) administration conducted an intensive interagency (State Dept.) review process on a new Cuba policy that Trump ultimately spurned. In early May, the review was sent to Trump recommending he keep in place Obama’s drive to normalize relations with Cuba. He nixed that idea after promising on the campaign trail to cater a new policy to Cuban-American hardliners.
From there, two lawmakers — and NOT the State Department — got in the driver’s seat with Trump, sources tell Foreign Policy. Cuba hardliners Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-Fla.) were the dominating force behind administration’s new changes, overriding Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.”
From Will Trump's firing of Rex Tillerson finally actually "cancel" Obama's Cuba policy as promised by Trump during his Miami speech back in June? | Babalú Blog
