Dec 3 - U.S. President Joe Biden has enacted a law banning the recognition of trademarks confiscated by the Cuban government, cementing Bacardi's rights to the "Havana Club" rum brand in the United States following a long-running legal dispute.

Biden signed the bill, opens new tab on Sunday, the White House said in a Monday press release, blocking U.S. courts and agencies from "enforcing or validating" trademarks that the Cuban government seized following the Cuban Revolution.

I have tried Cuban Bacardi before, like 30 years ago. Must've been in the bottle at least 30 years at that time.

Is it crazy to ask why Padron can’t purchase Cuban Tobacco farms and produce cigars? Hmmm. Deconstruct analogy and dream.
