Trump faces decision on letting Americans sue over Cuba property
http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/nationa...ty/2304815
"Trump ran his campaign saying tyranny would not be tolerated," said Burke Francisco Hedges, a St. Petersburg heir to more than 20 nationalized properties valued at $50 million. "Let's send a message right away."
Title III is not in force now. It carries a provision allowing its suspension each six months, and every U.S. president has opted to do so since the clause was written in 1996. That means no one has had the opportunity to file suit. The current suspension, signed by Obama, ends Feb. 1, just 11 days after Trump's inauguration.
Bolstering the belief that Trump will not suspend Title III was his selection of Mauricio Claver-Carone, director of the hard-line U.S.-Cuba Democracy PAC in Washington, D.C., to his transition team for the Department of the Treasury.
Claver-Carone has testified before Congress that Title III grievances should be allowed to proceed. Earlier this year, he told the Tampa Bay Times in an email, "I support it 100 percent."
