Bill Richardson discusses trip to Cuba
By HEATHER CLARK (AP) – 12 hours ago
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Gov. Bill Richardson, who says he's opposed to the
U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, is calling on the two countries to
build trust by improving humanitarian issues.
Richardson spoke Tuesday at the University of New Mexico about his trip
to Cuba last month.
The Democratic governor says he wants to see Cuban biotechnology and
medical products licensed for sale in the United States and for American
agricultural products to be sold in Cuba.
Richardson also says visa restrictions and red tape should be lifted to
allow more U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba for cultural exchanges.
Richardson is asking Cuba to make changes in return — for example,
allowing its citizens to travel more freely.
