The election of Joe Biden as president-elect of the United States has evoked a lukewarm level of optimism in certain sectors inside the Cuban government. For some, it creates the hope of returning to the negotiating table to resume the discussions held during the Obama administration and continue to thaw the often frosty relationship between both countries.
However there are still hardliners within the Cuban government that will continue to demand the lifting of the economic embargo and the return of the military base in Guantanamo. Raul Castro and the rest of the leadership know that putting those two issues on top of the agenda will complicate any progress that could be made.
...If the Cuban leadership is serious about renewing the negotiations with the United States, they will need to change their tactics of blaming the United States for everything that is wrong with Cuba. Just recently the Cuban government blamed the United States for the social unrest led by young intellectuals and artists demanding more freedoms.
