RE:RE:cubaI'm curious how this is going to be handled. The onus is really with the Cuban government here, IMHO. My understanding is that the Cuban govt, decades back, had offered to compensate some US (foreign) companies based on the valuations the companies themselves had set for their assets. The companies had set them much lower than they were worth in order to lessen their tax bill (pre-revolution). So the US companies scoffed at what was offered - which is rather rich given what they did. I would imagine that the US-Cuban negotiations must be dealing with this.
In any case, I really question why Sherritt or any other company operating there now - save for State run/owned businesses - should have to get punished for this. The Cuban govt may just throw them all under the bus in an attempt to appease the US but really it is them that should compensate if compensation is required. In addition, knowing the way the US govt tends to operate, or elements of it (i.e. Helms Burton), they will try to punish existing companies in Cuba indirectly or directly in their attempts at getting what they see as reddress.
