Two U.S. Senators have reintroduced legislation they say would remove trade provisions with Cuba that make American ag exports non-competitive.
Senators Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and John Boozman of Arkansas are lead co-sponsors of the Agricultural Export Expansion Act, which was approved as an amendment to a financial services spending bill by the Senate Appropriations Committee last year.
James Williams, president of Engage Cuba–a national coalition dedicated to lifting the Cuban embargo–says the legislation would benefit U.S.
