McGovern sees Cuba openness through sports diplomacy
Senator George McGovern, after a Havana visit, said Fidel Castro showed openness to using baseball and basketball to thaw U.S.-Cuba relations, likening it to Ping Pong diplomacy with China. He urged lifting the 16 year trade embargo and noted Cuba’s need for U.S. sugar nickel cereals livestock products, while White House and State Department signaled no policy change.
