Peter DeShazo, director of the CSIS Americas Program, was quoted by Reuters, “U.S. Says No Cuba Policy Change as Fidel Goes."
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Fidel Castro's departure will not change Bush administration policy toward Cuba, with an embargo and other restrictions intact so long as Castro's brother -- dubbed a "dictator lite" -- is in charge.
"I don't think there will be any political opening in the short term under Raul," said Peter DeShazo, director of the Americas program for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think-tank.
