Here's a look at the presidential candidates' views on Cuba.

Democrats

—Hillary Clinton: Supports current U.S. trade and travel embargoes.
"Until it is clear what type of policies might come with a new
government, we cannot talk about changes in the U.S. policies toward Cuba."

—John Edwards: Supports current trade embargo, but has said that if
Fidel Castro dies, the U.S. should "evaluate his successor and then
decide" whether to change policy. Called for an end to family travel
restrictions.

—Barack Obama: Supports loosening current restrictions on travel and
remittances.

—Rudy Giuliani: Supports current U.S.-Cuba policy. "Now is the time to
increase the pressure on the Castro regime, not weaken it."

—John McCain: Supports current U.S.-Cuba policy. Would increase funding
for the U.S. government's anti-Castro radio and TV stations.

—Mitt Romney: Supports current U.S.-Cuba policy.

—Mike Huckabee: Supports current U.S.-Cuba policy.
