Sorry. Cuba in terms of buying their products or produce.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe we buy products from Cuba. Just
another example of idiotic U.S. foreign policy. China, OK. Cuba, not OK.

Exactly. But do *you* believe the trade embargo with Cuba should be dropped
and Cuban products/produce be made available to the US market?

It should have happened decades ago, and the travel restrictions should
have been dropped, too. Keep in mind, I am not opposed to trade with
China because it is a Communist state, but because of the kind of
Communist state it has been and continues to be. Cuba has not been a
paragon of virtue in the area of human rights, but it has evolved into
something better than it was over the years. The PRC is still the PRC,
in terms of most of its people. I'm for "free" trade with any nation in
which the average working stiff is treated decently in terms of wages,
hours, working conditions, benefits, and in which products from this
country are treated similarly. That nation does not have to be a fan of
our foreign policy. If that were a requirement, of course, we'd have to
be buying American.
