Last month, hundreds of farmers from around the world traveled to Cuba for the 8th Cuban Agroecology Conference. We asked some of the members of the U.S. delegation what brought them to Cuba.

Why does the U.S. government ban its citizens from going to one of the safest countries in the world as tourists?

Maybe because they’d like it too much...and see firsthand the impact of the 60-year-old embargo.

Reporter Daniel Montero explores the issue, stemming from his own experience as a tour guide.

Cuba hasn't been so lucky. Five days after Jan 6, Trump listed Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Two years later, Biden's kept Cuba on the list.

There is no credible evidence to support the designation, which is aimed to devastate Cuba’s economy by cutting it off from international credit and investment.

For most Europeans, traveling to the U.S. is an easy process. They qualify for the U.S. Visa Waiver program (ESTA), meaning they just have to fill out an online form. However, U.S. law denies normally eligible individuals access to ESTA if they have visited countries on its State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Cuba was added to the list last year by Doland Trump and has been kept on it by Joe Biden, even though there is no evidence Cuba sponsors terrorism.

Her remarks come in response to international media reports claiming shipments had been suspended due to pressure from the United States.

Mexico is one of the main suppliers of oil to Cuba following the U.S. attack on Venezuela on January 3, which ended with the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Following the attack, President Donald Trump called for a full blockade on oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba.

Mexico and Venezuela, close allies of Cuba, have helped supply oil amid the island’s fuel shortages.
