Cuban Embargo and Cigar Industry
10 Mar, 2009- The cigar industry is ready for full swing as restrictions on travel and trade to be lifted.
- President Barack Obama is poised to break the embargo wall around Cuba in an effort to repair the US relations with countries in Latin America. As a cautious, innitial step, the White House has moved to ease some travel and trade restrictions, in a move to improve ties with post-Castro Cuba, raising hopes of a complete lifting of the 40 year old economic embargo.
- In preparations for April 2009 Summit of The Americas, in Trinidad, it is expected that some US control measures will be abolished, signaling the beginning of a new era. The new provisions are included in a $410 Billion spending bill to be voted on by mid March.
- The new law will allow Americans with family in Cuba to visit and send money. There is a strong expectation that President Obama will announce further policy changes before the summit. The presidents of Brazil, Chile, Dom. Republic Ecuador and Guatemala visited Cuba recently and strengthen economic and political ties with Havana and the region looks at the US embargo as anachronistic and out of place.
- When Fidel Castro fell ill in 2006, power was transferred seamlessly to his brother Raul. Last week Raul cemented his authority with a cabinet reshuffle that sent old Fidel loyalists home and further paved the way for more drastic changes.
