Donald Trump said the United States was beginning to talk with Cuban leaders
as his administration puts greater pressure on the communist-run island and cuts off key oil supplies.
This comes in the wake of his moves in recent weeks to cut off supplies of oil from Venezuela and Mexico,
which he suggested Saturday would force Cuba to the negotiating table.

Anyone here knows a tool where you can drop PDFs etc in, have it run things like "named entity recognition" etc. and network the extracted concepts?
I used some open source tool years ago that came from an investigative journalism background but can't seem to find it anymore (and blanking on the name)
i made an update to a glasgow applet where by far the easiest way to test it is to run something and then see if a magic wand vibrator turns on
