Ron Kind Calls on Congress to End Embargo on Cuba | 2014-12-17 | 2014 | 2014-12 | Democrat | House | WI | Ron Kind | K000188 | kind.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) released the following statement after President Obama announced plans to normalize relations with Cuba: I support normalizing relations with Cuba that will ease restrictions between our countries and put an end to 50 years of failed policy. It doesn't make sense to have economic relations with a Communist nation like China, yet stay closed off to a nation just 90 miles off our coast. Now, Congress needs to act to end the embargo altogether and fully open up this new market to U.S exports. For years, farmers in Wisconsin have wanted to lift economic sanctions on Cuba and with today's news we can look forward to new economic growth and job creation in agriculture, manufacturing and other sectors of our economy. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
