What products in the world does that not include?\u201d he said. Examples he gave included getting parts for dialysis machines or parts to repair Cuba\u2019s aging electrical grid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is multiplied more and more, repeated in every area,\u201d he said. \u201cNo import of metal, no cars, candy bars and much more. And Cuba cannot use U.S. dollars in its trade with international partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that under both Presidents Donald Trump and Joseph Biden, the U.S. has unjustly put Cuba on its list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>The embargo has caused severe problems with basic services like electricity and health care. \u201cMany in Cuba are looking to move,\u201d said Fern\u00e1ndez de Coss\u00edo.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, all of Washington\u2019s attempts to isolate Cuba \u2014 the 1961 invasion at the Bay of Pigs, CIA schemes to assassinate Fidel Castro \u2014 have failed to undo the revolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCuba has a respectful and cooperative relationship with the majority of countries of the world,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a firm determination for Cuba to be free of foreign interference, but we are willing to have constructive, civilized relations with the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border-top: 2px solid #ccc; margin-top: 20px;\">\n<p><em>Source: <\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/politics.einnews.com\/article\/763231847\/abJVSTyWuAo_EYuE?ref=rss&amp;ecode=kmfm9fDbRbj4OPCJ\">politics.einnews.com\u2026<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob MillerCarlos Fern\u00e1ndez de Coss\u00edo at Rutgers.
