Caribbean presses Obama on Cuba
The leaders of 14 Caribbean nations have called on US President-elect Barack Obama to lift the decades-old American trade embargo against Cuba.

The call came during a one-day summit between Cuba and the Caribbean regional trade bloc, known as Caricom.

Current Caricom president, Antigua's Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer, said he hoped the US embargo would finally be "relegated to history."

The Caribbean leaders were meeting to discuss the current economic crisis.

1. Good, good news, isn't it, to see those nations standing beside their neighbor?
This really goes the distance to disprove what we've seen various clowns speculating here, claiming increasing the traffic to Cuba would destroy the tourist trade they need.

Looks very much as if they believe a healthier, more productive Cuba would benefit them all.

Thanks, edwardlindy. :hi:
