US-Cuba relations weaken, El Espacio 23, Miami Art Week and Art Basel

Miami entrepreneur and art collector Jorge M. Perez opens - El Espacio 23 - in Allapattah today, featuring thousands of pieces from his personal art collection that had been kept away in storage for years.

On this Monday, Dec. 2, episode of Sundial: 

Will the U.S. cut ties with Cuba?

There are fears among policy experts that the United States will cut ties with Cuba. The Trump Administration has put in place a series of restrictions on U.S. travel to Cuba since taking office, including limits to educational and tourism visas. It is also placing limits on doing business with entities linked to Cuba’s military. WLRN Americas’ editor Tim Padgett joins Sundial to discuss how these announcements could impact U.S.-Cuba relations.
