Relations We need to continue to do everything we can to support democratic reform in Cuba and encourage the Cuban people to replace Fidel Castro. I believe the United States must make a greater effort to engage Cuba, so I have cosponsored the Bridges to the Cuban People Act (S. 1017), which, among other provisions, authorizes the unrestricted sale of food, farm equipment, and medicines to Cuba; removes restrictions on vessels carrying legal exports to Cuba; and removes restrictions on travel to Cuba by U.S. citizens. I have consistently supported legislation to allow food and medicine to be traded with Cuba, and I oppose restrictions on travel to Cuba by Americans. I am a cosponsor of a bill that would repeal trade financing and travel restrictions. Restricting trade with Cuba has not left Castro malnourished but it has left the Cuban people without vital goods and services. We need to repeal the trade ban to help the Cuban people. |
