Congressman Tom Emmer
President Obama continues his historic visit to Cuba and is expected to emphasize human rights in his speech today (Tues) from the island nation. Congressman Tom Emmer is among lawmakers on the trip and says “because of this visit, the United States has probably received more leverage on the human rights issue. Think about it: We’ve got thousands of U-S observers who are here in the island for the first time.” Those calling for an end to the Cuban trade embargo point to market opportunities for U-S companies.
