US not changing foreign policy over Cuba, just changing strategy: Analyst
American political activist Don DeBar says the United States has not changed its foreign policy regarding Cuba after decades and it is just changing its strategy.
“There has not been any fundamental change in the United States and there hasn’t been any fundamental change in its foreign policy,” DeBar told Press TV on Friday.
“I assume that the strategy is still the same: global dominance. Now, they’re trying a new tactic in Cuba,” he added.
On Friday, the US flag was raised over the American embassy in Havana, Cuba, for the first time in 54 years.
US Secretary of State John Kerry presided over the ceremony to officially reopen the US embassy in Havana.
Kerry was the first US secretary of state to visit Cuba in 70 years. The US flag was raised by the same US Marines who pulled it down back in 1961.
"The leaders in Havana and the Cuban people should also know that the United States will always remain a champion of democratic principles and reforms," Kerry said during his speech.
The United States broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961, two years after Raul’s older brother, Fidel Castro, came to power at the height of the Cold War.
“After 54 years of trying to starve Cuba into submission, some acknowledgement in Washington that that policy didn’t work. Certainly, they’re just changing tactics and not the strategy of negating Cuba’s influence in the region and bringing it back into control of the United States,” DeBar said.
