In addition, the opposition of some forces in the US Congress to the normalization of relations with Cuba also negatively affects both the American and Cuban people.
Mrs. Clinton revealed that at the end of her term at the US State Department, she had asked Mr. Obama to review the embargo policy because it hindered US action programs towards Latin America./.
