Senators Want Action on Cuban Trade
U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Maria Cantwell of Washington say relaxing restrictions on agricultural trade with Cuba is key to creating jobs and expanding exports from the U.S. agricultural sector. In a joint letter to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana, the Senators urged Baucus to take up the Promoting American Agricultural and Medical Exports to Cuba Act of 2009 as quickly as possible. Lincoln and Cantwell are co-sponsors of the legislation and members of the Finance Committee.Senator Lincoln, who chairs the Senate Ag Committee, said - no country is better situated to take advantage of the consumer demand in Cuba than the United States, and no sector can expand our participation in that market more quickly and seamlessly than our agricultural sector.
Senator Cantwell added - we are urging swift action on this legislation because relaxing U.S. governmental restrictions on agricultural and medical export to Cuba will benefit all agricultural regions at a critical time.
