WASHINGTON The White House said on Tuesday it would be “very damaging” to both Cubans as well as the United States’ standing in Latin America if the next administration reverses President Barack Obama’s normalization of relations with Cuba.“We’re seeing real progress that is making life better for Cubans right now.
