(2) TRANSITION GOVERNMENT- Once the President submits a
determination under section 203(c)(1) that a transition
government in Cuba is in power--
(A) the President is encouraged to take steps to support
the processing of Cuba's application for membership in any
international financial institution, subject to the
membership taking effect after a democratically elected
government in Cuba is in power, and
(B) the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to
instruct the United States executive director of each
international financial institution to support loans or
other assistance to Cuba only to the extent that such loans
or assistance contribute to a stable foundation for a
democratically elected government in Cuba.

The President should instruct the United States Permanent
Representative to the Organization of American States to oppose and
vote against any termination of the suspension of the Cuban
Government from participation in the Organization until the
President determines under section 203(c)(3) that a democratically elected government in Cuba is in power.

So its rather apparent that the USA's position is that once Castro is gone and/or a democratic government is elected, they will suspend the embargo.
