24-Apr-2009 (17 years 1 months 20 days ago)The U.S. embargo against Cuba is a commercial, economic and financial embargo that was imposed on Cuba on Feb. 3, 1962. Some in the U.S. meat industry are hopeful this most recent move by Obama will lead to normalizing trade.
What might be surprising to some readers is despite the trade embargo, Cuba is already a U.S. meat customer. The U.S. was the largest pork supplier to Cuba in 2008, with exports valued at $12.65 million.
