US tourism to Cuba doubles after Trump’s threats

Despite Trump administration’s pressure on Cuba and threats to impose a “full and complete embargo”, US tourists have been flocking to the country in record numbers, according to data provided by Cuban authorities. According to Trump’s regime, Cuba is a villain that impedes the ascent of democracy in Venezuela by keeping the crisis-hit country under “occupation.” However, that doesn’t seem to do much to discourage US tourists from swarming the island’s world-famous white sand beaches.

Michel Bernal, commercial director at Cuba’s tourism ministry, said Monday that there has been an almost twofold increase in visitors from the US in the first four months of the year. 93.5 percent more US citizens visited Cuba from January to April than during the same period of last year, he said, as quoted by Granma.

That has made the US one of the top two countries that supply tourists to Cuba. The US only trails behind its northern neighbor, Canada. Cuba saw a seven percent increase in total tourist arrivals compared to the previous year. Bernal noted that, while choosing their holiday destination, visitors apparently paid no heed to Trump’s rhetoric. “Despite defamatory campaigns against Cuba, 13.5 percent of tourists that visit us say they chose the island for its safety,” he said.

A total of 1.93 million foreign visitors came to Cuba in the first quarter of 2019. While the number of tourists to Cuba in on the rise, there has been a mild setback in terms of European arrivals. The number of visitors from Germany, Italy, Spain and Britain decreased on average by 10-13 percent. Trump administration has been piling pressure on Cuba, the main ally of Caracas.

Reversing the Obama administration’s détente with Cuba, Trump’s White House threatened to impose a “full and complete embargo, together with highest-level sanctions” on Cuba if it does not withdraw its support from Maduro. US special representative for Venezuela Elliott Abrams has indicated that Washington plans to slap new sanctions on Havana if it does not cease backing Maduro. “We will have more sanctions,” Abrams told the Washington Free Beacon, in an interview on Monday, adding that the new measures might be unveiled “over the next weeks.” “There is a long list and we are basically going down the list,” Abrams said.

3 Ingredients to Relieve Pain in No Time

The aches and pains of daily life usually have us reaching for the pill bottle. Over-the-counter pain relievers are cheap, plentiful, and widely considered safe. However, there are definite risks to medications like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen.

 Ibuprofen and naproxen belong to a category of medications called NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). As the name implies, they relieve pain by reducing inflammation. Prolonged use of NSAIDS has been linked to serious heart complications, stroke, stomach bleeding, and ulcers.  Regular use of OTC painkillers can cause some serious health conditions. Acetaminophen has actually become the number one cause of liver failure in the United States. And because acetaminophen is included in all sorts of different medicines, it is easy for people to lose track of how much they’ve taken. Classified as a mild analgesic (painkiller), some in the pharmaceutical field suggest that if acetaminophen were developed today, it would be much more closely regulated.
