Summary: Fidel Castro has died. He was an enemy of many US presidents and Cuban refugees, however many others adored him. Cuba is a communist symbol, as they are a small island in the midst of a western capitalist society. Although Castro is a historic figure, the Cuban government has moved on and is making its way to increase engagement with the States. President elect Donald Trump, however, needs to decide whether or not to go through with this. Our relationship with the country has been fragile for quite some time now and we are not sure if our president will shatter that relationship, fix it, or continue it along its current path.
Analysis: I have mixed feelings on this topic; I am both curious and concerned to see what Trump will have to say about this matter, and more importantly, if he follows up. As he is a businessman and not a politician, nobody is really sure how he will approach this picky foreign relation. There is much to consider and with mistakes may come great repercussions.

I would have thought because he was a dictator that he wouldn't have support from so much of the population and more would be celebrating his passing. It seems to be divided.
