No business in the world would continue a strategy that has failed for 60 years. It’s time Congress tries a new policy toward Cuba.

We support this powerful statement by @SenatorLeahy. The time for engagement with #Cuba is now.
“During this time, the U.S. can either be actively engaged, or watch as our competitors fill the vacuum, as they are already doing. There is only one logical choice.”
In Cuba, we can continue sanctions and try to force the changes we want, which have failed miserably and hurt the Cuban people, or engage with Cuba as we do with other impoverished countries whose governments we disagree with. See my new statement HERE: leahy.senate.gov/press/state…

Mark Feb 23 on your calendars for a Virtual Panel on Cuban Entrepreneurship! Join our amazing panel of Havana-based Cuban entrepreneurs (profiles below) for a discussion on the Cuban private sector. Hosted alongside @CubaEdTravel, @90milespod, @cda_dc, @CubaOneTweets, & @NYUCASA
We support the “U.S.-Cuba Trade Act of 2021” introduced by @SenateFinance Chairman @RonWyden, joined by @SenatorLeahy, @SenatorDurbin & @SenJeffMerkley. It is time Congress passes a bill to end the US embargo on Cuba & establish normal trade relations. finance.senate.gov/ranking-m…
“The U.S.-Cuba Trade Act of 2021 would repeal the major statutes that codify sanctions against Cuba, including the Helms-Burton Act and the Cuban Democracy Act, as well as other provisions that affect trade, investment and travel with Cuba.”
“Our nation’s embargo on Cuba is an artifact from the 1960s. [ ... ] Congress has a moral and economic obligation to the American people to improve U.S.-Cuban relations as swiftly and safely as possible,” says Chairman @RonWyden in the press release.
We support @SenatorLeahy’s statements and agree that the best way to support the Cuban people & Cuban communities in the U.S. is through engagement with Cuba.
After more than half a century isn’t it time to repeal a Cold War embargo that has failed to achieve any of its objectives, and has only made life harder for the struggling Cuban people? Engagement with #Cuba can help bring positive change.
The Cuban government announces a major private sector expansion, allowing small private business to operate in over 2,000 fields, eliminating their limited list of 127 activities.

.@PressSec shared that the Biden administration will review U.S. policy on Cuba “governed by two principles. First, support for democracy and human rights[.] Second is Americans, especially Cuban Americans, are the best ambassadors for freedom in Cuba.”
