Default Re: Question about the U.S.A. & Cuba

The treaty involving the naval base goes back well before the revolution in which Castro took power. Since it is in our interests to have a base on the tip of Cuba, we continue to pay the lease fee every year and Cuba fails to cash the check for the lease fee every year. If it were not in our best interests to have this base, the Navy would have left Cuba years ago.
