The oil spill disaster emanating from a rig in the Gulf of Mexico has
opened up the best possibility of an easing in bilateral tensions between
Cuba and the US since President Raul Castro took over power
from his brother in 2008. While an outright end to the 48-year-old
embargo remains well outside our core scenario, we nevertheless
see scope for a slight thawing in relations over the coming quarters
in the form of technological transfer aimed at stemming the risk of
any future oil spills that could threaten the American southern coast.
With Spain’s Repsol expected to begin deep-water drilling off Cuba’s
coast this autumn (and a host of additional foreign firms likely to begin
exploration shortly thereafter), attention has understandably turned
towards the US’s southern neighbour, which is estimated to have
approximately 4.6bn barrels of undiscovered offshore oil. Indeed,
as the ongoing trade embargo caps the use of American technology
in oil rigs to 10% (Repsol’s platform was built in China), attention
in Washington has become focused on whether the Cuba projects
will meet global standards in the prevention of accidents, safety
procedures and environmental protection. Here we assess what
impact the oil spill will have on bilateral relations between Cuba
and the US, in addition to the risks it poses to the island’s tourism
industry going forward:
Impact one – slight easing of embargo possible: While an end
to the decades-long embargo remains well outside our core scenario
at this juncture (particularly in the run-up to midterm elections in
the US in November), we nevertheless believe that the oil spill has
opened up the best opportunity for a slight easing in bilateral relations
since President Raúl Castro took over power from his brother Fidel
in 2008. As the latter incident made clear, progress in opening up
Cuba’s political system from the inside will remain incremental at
best, with ongoing criticism of the Communist government’s human
rights record likely to prevent any significant leap forward in bilateral
ties in the short term.
