Questioning Cuba embargo meets crossfire in Havana dialogue
Liberal critics long opposed the embargo while conservative farmers and GOP lawmakers now press for more Cuba trade. A 2000 cash payment rule and new port clearance requirements hurt U S sales, with rice grower Dwight Roberts calling the policy nonsensical and Kirby Jones comparing the embargo to a stubborn, unmoving tanker. U S officials defend the embargo to contest dissidents' and Cuban freedoms concerns, noting ongoing trade with other communist nations and the influence of South Florida lawmakers and Cuban American lobbyists.
