In a Real News Network report Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff, Lawrence Wilkerson makes good points about who will get hurt by reversing the changes in Cuba relations. Besides the larger money interests who want to build hotels, Wilkerson points to individual Cuban-American families investing in small-scale businesses in Cuba. 

According to Wilkerson, ideology and reflexive anti-Obama sentiment are driving Trump's decision.  He points the finger at Bannon.   Wilkerson predicts that reversing the Cuba opening will be a political nightmare for the Trump administration, but they are ignoring all the warnings.

Wilkerson also puts US-Cuba relations in context since the time of Jefferson. 12 minutes worth watching.
