HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 9 (acn) The lifting of the US embargo would benefit Cuba and also American companies interested in doing business with the island, said US scholar Phil Peter during a videoconference between Havana and Washington on Wednesday.
Peter said that such a step would also favor companies from other countries that now find it difficult to do business with Cuba and many others that abstain from having relations with Havana to avoid US sanctions.
The tourist and oil industries in both countries are among those that would benefit the most from the lifting of the embargo said the US scholar, as he referred to the over-50-year US economic, commercial and financial blockade maintained by several US administrations against Cuba.
Meanwhile, US lawyer Robert Muse described the blockade as abnormal policy, which also aims at social and political transformations in Cuba, an euphemism of what really is a change of regime, he noted.
After criticizing the extraterritorial nature of the US blockade, Muse said that there is nothing that may prevent President Barack Obama from lifting the blockade and normalizing relations with Havana, he only needs to have the will to do it, the lawyer stressed.
While Washington stiffens its blockade, Cuba updates its economic model, so the White House does all possible effort to have the Cuban strategy fail, said the lawyer.
