The Senate Agriculture Committee held a hearing on the potential to increase U.S. ag and food sales to Cuba by lifting the trade embargo.
According to The Hagstrom Report, Senate Ag Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow says ag sales to Cuba are a way to rebuild trust between the U.S. and Cuba.
Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy says there will not be an immediate commercial windfall for American agriculture as Cuba has used the embargo for its own purposes and repealing it would allow the development of a more efficient economic relationship.
