WASHINGTON -- At least 30 American food and agriculture companies and associations say they will push Congress to end the trade embargo the United States imposed on Cuba in 1962.
Representatives of the companies said they want to take advantage of the recent thaw in relations between the two countries to end the embargo.
The Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said President Barack Obama looks forward to engaging with Congress in a debate about how to promote positive change in Cuba.
