Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is shortly heading to Havana, Cuba to meet the Castro government.
Whatever the merits of the idea, its timing is odd.
President-elect Trump has recently been talking about overhauling NAFTA, of keen interest to the US's closest trading partner.
Canada's relations with the US would be described as a whole lot more significant than its links with Cuba.
Justin Trudeau's father Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau was one of Fidel Castro's closest Western interlocutors, to the fury of many members of the Washington, DC establishment.
Perhaps Justin Trudeau's photo opportunity plans in Cuba are to be described less as 'à gauche' (left-wing) than as 'gauche' (clumsy).
