What about this one
Are we talking about the First Minister of the Central Bank of Cuba ? Are we talking about a man that always carried on his wrist a 10,000 dollars Rolex watch ?

Irish were welcomed in Latin America and several of them became landowners and participated in the anti-colonial struggle, but they were not welcome in the USA.
