They dont know yet how far with this. But people are were tired already of this not having a relationship with america and now they will see an opportunity to increase business and things will come from america that will create jobs. People in cuba believe that we have so much in common with america. And with americans. And so this is certainly good for both partners we believe. Cuba plays a very Important Role and now they are expressing how happy they are and they see america with different eyes. So it opens a new market for american producers is good for the American Business with the
congressman, your thoughts as alan gross comes home and the possibility of normalization with cuba. First of all, were always elated when an american gets to come home, so i congratulate alan gross.
