I fully agree. The Cuban people are in dire economic straits, principally as a result of the U.S. blockade as well as actions and threats by the Trump administration that chill Cuba travel by Americans. To purchase just five liters of gasoline, there are waits of three and up to four hours. There are food scarcities, even of essential products, especially in the provinces. We should encourage Americans to travel to Cuba, for a wonderful experience and money spent that helps the Cuban populace.
