Long look at reading Cuba ties foreseen
Washington based State Department officials foresee very slow progress toward normalizing relations with Cuba for the first time in 11 years after the OAS allowed each member to set its own ties with Havana. They say the U S must keep the trade embargo on the books while pursuing serious discussions. Officials emphasize Cuba would gain little leverage unless it agrees to compensate American businesses for 1.8 billion dollars lost in its nationalization drive.
