DODD TRAVELS TO CUBA
Meets With Cuban Officials to Discuss U.S. - Cuban Relations
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) traveled to Cuba this weekend, where he is meeting with Cuban government officials to discuss U.S. - Cuba relations. Dodd is the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps, and Global Narcotics Affairs.
Throughout his career, Dodd has been an outspoken critic of the United States embargo against Cuba and America’s failed policy towards the island. Recently, he has been an original co-sponsor of the Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act, which would lift travel restrictions on all Americans wishing to travel to Cuba. During his trip Dodd intends to discuss ways that the United States and Cuba can improve bi-lateral relations.
