Marc Caputo on Cuba: Any Attempt To Lift Sanctions or the Embargo Can’t Really Happen Unless Congress Signs Off on It

EXCERPT:

CAPUTO: “The third factor is Cuba has and is subject to a U.S. embargo that was codified into U.S. law in 1996. Venezuela didn't have that. It had sanctions that were imposed by the executive branch. So any changes in governance that happen in Cuba and any attempt to lift sanctions or the embargo can't really happen unless Congress signs off on it or three very specific rules or benchmarks are met. They have to free political prisoners, they have to have free elections and they have to guarantee other civil rights. It's a much more complicated nut to crack in Cuba than in Venezuela.”
