美两联邦参议员访问古巴探讨商机

A day after the U.S. announced it was loosening restrictions on Cuban imports, two U.S. senators began a four-day trade mission to the island.

Democratic senators Claire McCaskill from Missouri and Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota went to Cuba Saturday to explore the new opportunities opening up with Cuba.

The U.S. announced Friday it was allowing small private Cuban businesses to sell goods and services to the U.S., except for food and agricultural products, alcohol, tobacco products and some textiles.

McCaskill said she was interested in finding out what the farmers in Missouri can sell to Cubans.
