      Presumably because they can’t do anything about it. The US offers Cuba a nominal sum to “rent” the land to maintain legitimacy and iirc the Cuban government has continually rejected it on principle.

        I’m imagining a huge stack of checks in a storage room. When the time is right, the cuban president will deposit them all at once, overdrawing America’s account and collapsing the economy.
