New relaxation of sanctions on Cuba announced the US
The United States announced Friday new relaxation of the sanctions imposed on Cuba in particular to facilitate trade in medical research and market Cuban cigars and rum abroad.
This new stage in the rapprochement of the two countries which were enemies during the Cold War "may open up new opportunities for Cubans and Americans," said US Treasury Secretary James Liu. The economic and financial embargo which was imposed in 1962; and can not be remedied only by Congress in Washington; It remains in force.
"It is a positive step, it is an important step in the process to remove barriers and improve our relations", said in Havana the Josephine Vidal, an official of the Cuban chancellery responsible for the affairs with Washington. However, "we see that this document does not hide the objective to promote change" in Cuba and "does not hide the desire to continue to carry out intervention programs in our country," added Vidal.
"Challenges remain; and real differences between our governments insist on the issues of democracy and human rights; but I think that our commitment is the best way to deal with these differences and make progress," he said in a statement Barack Obama.
