Spooner Cuban bill urged to speed reciprocity with Cuba
The senate backed a Spooner canal measure and now faces urging action on the Spooner Cuban bill to grant a twenty percent tariff reduction on Cuban goods. Supporters say relief is vital to encourage Cuba’s industry and hold trade with the island, while warning Britain could gain if the United States stalls. The plan allows suspension if the benefits fail to reach Cuban producers, a power the president can exercise to ensure the law benefits Cuba rather than monopolies.
