President Obama officially ended the policy of indiscriminate reception for Cuban citizens

BreakingNews @en di

President Obama has officially put an end to the policy of indiscriminate reception for Cuban citizens , renamed “wet foot, dry foot” and inaugurated by President Clinton in ’95. This choice is part of the normalization of relations between the US and Cuba. For 20 years, the Cuban government was widely criticized by the American policy which in fact has encouraged the exodus of hundreds of thousands of Cuban citizens tired of the oppression of the communist government. The large Cuban community living in the US, especially in Florida, is divided on the subject, some see an opportunity for many Cubans who have found a better life in America to return to their country by virtue of the improved medium living conditions, but others worry that this measure will be exploited by the government of L’Havana to pursue all those exiles who left Cuba for political reasons, also fear that the government makes it impossible to leave for the US.

BreakingNews @en di

The British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Boris Johnson, is in the U.S., as reported from British television BBC. He has already had meetings with some important members of the President-elect Trump staff, the chief strategist Steve Bannon and son in law Jared Kushner on Sunday in New York before departing for Washington where he will meet the Speaker of the the House of Representatives Paul Ryan, Sen. Bob Corker and the Majority Whip Mitch McConnell. Johnson’s trip to the U.S. serves not only in order to prepare that of the Prime Minister Theresa May in March but also to begin to talk about what will be the relations between the United States and the United Kingdom after the latter has left the EU. Although neither Theresa May neither Boris Johnson have had words of appreciation for Trump during the election campaign, the President-elect seems however well disposed towards the UK.

Trump has two options: rescue Obamacare or admit he's a liar

BreakingNews @en di

The intention of the President-elect Trump and the Republican majority is to dismantle Obamacare. If successful, approximately 30 millions of Americans would lose health insurance and would no longer be able to access at medical care. Also Republicans would cut federal funding to hospitals, with the risk to close several small hospitals in rural counties. Finally, it seems that along with spending cuts in the Republican proposal there are a series of medicines price increases. Of the 30 million of people who risk to lose the health insurance, approximately the 80% come from the working class and many of those voted for Trump because he had promised that there would be no cuts to health care. According to the Sen. Bernie Sanders, Trump has two options: choose the Republican proposal and admit that he lied during the election campaign, or save Obamacare and keep the promises made during the campaign.

BreakingNews @en di

James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, John Brennan, the CIA Director, and James Comey, FBI Directorate are ready to meet in New York with President-elect Trump to discuss the events related to the alleged manipulation of the presidential election in November by Russian agents. President Obama has already met the three directors on Tuesday. While the press expects a declassified version of the Intelligence, reports are followed by a series of rumors that Trump would choose Dan Coats as the new Director of National Intelligence. Coats is certainly not a friend of Moscow: he was one of the supporters of sanctions against Russia following the annexation of the Crimea in 2014. Furthermore, some of the media, including the prestigious Wall Street Journal, launched the rumor that Trump would have in mind a reform of the Intelligence services. The news was denied by the spokesman of the President-elect.

The dismantling of the Obamacare law will be the first step of Trump’s administration

BreakingNews @en di

Vice President-elect Mike Pence said that the dismantling of Obamacare will be the first step of the Trump’s administration. The President-elect on Twitter made fun of the Democratic whip in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, launching the proposal of a bipartisan agreement to scrap the Obamacare. Surely the new Republican administration has no intention to ensure the 20 millions of health insurance covered by the Obamacare but not even seems determined to eliminate them all. At least for now, the idea seems to be to gradually move from Obamacare to a new legislation, more selective, field of health insurance, while the Democrats hope to gain time thanks to an investigation against the Secretary-appointed to  Health, the surgeon Tom Price, who failed to declare their stock options of various companies related to the world of health for a value close to $ 300,000.

From Washington to support the attacks launched on twitter Trump has deployed his Vice Mike Pence that said that Trump’s words have been well understood by the Americans. There is also to be noted that the meeting with Intelligence’s heads that Trump should have had today has been moved to Friday.

BreakingNews @en di

President Obama met on Capitol Hill several of Democrats Senators and Representatives, including the minority whips of the House of Representatives and of the Senate. Obama is working together with his Congressmen to try to work out a strategy to save the law on health insurance, renamed Obamacare. In fact, until now Obamacare has survived thanks to the presidential veto power, but by January 20 will no longer be possible. A meeting, similar to the one that Obama had today, was also made by the Republicans, under the guidance of Vice-President Mike Pence. In this meeting the Republicans choose, on the advice of the President of the Commission for the Budget of the Senate, Mike Enzi, to scrap Obamacare with a procedure that requires a simple majority. In fact, the Republicans can count on a majority in both houses of Congress.
