The Hill covers the release of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center’s new report, US-Cuba: A New Public Survey Supports Policy Change:
Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday called on President Obama to end the trade embargo on Cuba.
In an op-ed for the Miami Herald, Leahy and Flake point to surveys that indicate a majority of people in the United States support a change in U.S. policy toward Cuba. “Americans want a change in our Cuba policy. The president should heed the majority of those across the country who recognize that we have much to gain by jettisoning this Cold War relic,” they wrote.
A poll conducted by the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin American Center found nearly two-thirds of Floridians support normalizing relations with Cuba. More than half of people across the country also support that option.
