There will be some back door deal on distribution and such before any major moves are made,
Also, it is a big political issue since Florida is a swing state and the Cuban-American population there does not want the embargo lifted. Neither party wants to piss them off and risk losing votes. I think if anything is allowed, it will be for the US to make oil deals now that there was a huge oil reserve found in Cuban waters.
