The 1976 constitution was adopted with the approval of 97.7 percent of voters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are different visions even among government supporters of where the government should go,&#8221; Pertierra added. &#8220;But as long as US foreign policy is aggressive as it is, those things will be subsumed behind the need for unity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Opening the economy<\/h2>\n<p>Long hamstrung by the 60-year-old US embargo and impacted in recent years by a strain on its oil access amid economic crisis in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/topics\/country\/venezuela.html\">Venezuela<\/a>, Cuba has recently sought to make its economy more sustainable in the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/americas\/2008\/02\/2008525183357587866.html\">Raul Castro<\/a> began lifting market restrictions to stoke the economy by encouraging private business development and foreign investment.<\/p>\n<p>More than 580,000 Cubans are now independently employed, according to government statistics.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the government announced reforms to clear additional activities for entrepreneurial ventures, including artistic production.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new constitution formalises these recent changes by recognising private property. Previously, possible forms of property were state, cooperative, personal or joint ventures.<\/p>\n<p>Despite opening up the economy, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/topics\/people\/donald-trump.html\">Donald Trump<\/a> has called into question the historic normalisation of US-Cuba relations achieved between former Presidents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/topics\/people\/barack-obama.html\">Barack Obama<\/a> and Raul Castro, casting doubt on the potential deepening of economic ties between the two nations.<\/p>\n<p>Obama called the embargo &#8220;outdated&#8221;, while the Trump administration has floated tightening economic barriers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the fact that we&#8217;re having a referendum with likely high approval is going to change the US policy of hostility whatsoever,&#8221; Francisca Lopez Civeira, history professor at the University of Havana, told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a very aggressive policy in relation to Latin America as a whole and Cuba continues to be a target of regime change,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;All governments have had this objective from Eisenhower to Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>US-Cuba relations<\/h2>\n<p>Last month, the Trump administration hinted it could be considering activating a US law, dormant since it was created in 1996, that would allow lawsuits against companies profiting from property seized by the Cuban government in the wake of the 1959 revolution.<\/p>\n<p>Potential litigation through the measure, known as Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, could make companies and investors from other countries increasingly wary of sinking cash into Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enacting Title III is a mistake for US national interests,&#8221; argued Battista. The move would likely alienate US allies including Canada, Mexico, and the European Union, spur a flood of lawsuits in US courts, negatively affect US business efforts in Cuba, and sour the potential for future normalization of bilateral ties with Cuba, he said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer item\" data-image-url=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2019\/1\/3\/a57fabbda1ba44eaa167d1f587b91a80_18.jpg\">\n<table class=\"image\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody readability=\"2\">\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2019\/1\/3\/a57fabbda1ba44eaa167d1f587b91a80_18.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"4\">\n<td class=\"caption\">Cubans read the draft proposal of changes to the constitution during the beginning of a public political discussion to revamp a Cold War-era constitution in Havana, Cuba [Tomas Bravo\/Reuters]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s unlikely the new constitution will change Trump&#8217;s mind on Cuba. The US president railed against Cuba this week in a speech in Miami in which he called the Venezuelan military to break ranks with President Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The days of socialism and communism are numbered not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and Cuba, as well,&#8221; Trump said, also declaring &#8220;socialism is dying&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cuba&#8217;s Diaz-Canel responded on Twitter, calling Trump&#8217;s speech &#8220;arrogant, cynical, immoral, threatening, offensive, interventionist, hypocritical, warmongering, and dirty&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our response: mobilisation for peace and against imperial intervention in Latin America and a successful triumph when we vote yes,&#8221; Diaz-Canel continued, using the hashtags for the referendum &#8220;Yes&#8221; campaign.<\/p>\n<p>An earlier draft of the Constitution omitted communism, instead describing Cuba&#8217;s aspirations as socialist. But after the popular consultation, the phrase stating Cuba&#8217;s objective of &#8220;advancing toward a communist society&#8221; was added to the version to be put to a vote.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez Civeira noted this was a result of popular demand to maintain the &#8220;aspiration&#8221; of building a &#8220;more just, more inclusive society&#8221; through communism.<\/p>\n<p>The referendum is scheduled on the anniversary of the 1895 launch of Cuba&#8217;s independence war against Spain.
