NFTC Welcomes Omnibus Bill Provisions to Ease Flow of Agricultural Exports to Cuba |
Washington, DC – The National Foreign Trade Council
(NFTC) and USA*Engage today praised Congress for including in the
FY2010 omnibus spending bill provisions to ease the flow of U.S.
agricultural exports to Cuba. The spending bill was approved by the
Senate yesterday and is expected to be signed by President Obama in the
coming days. NFTC Vice President for Global Trade Policy Jake Colvin
released the following statement:
“We applaud Congress for
including Cuba-related provisions in the omnibus bill. The agriculture
provision will make it easier for American farmers and other
agricultural exporters to sell their goods to Cuba. This is a small but
welcome step in the right direction, and it is great to see that fixing
Cuba policy remains on the radar screen for Congress.”
