Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has resurrected an old debate concerning U.S. policy toward Cuba by calling for the 52-year-old embargo against the communist island to be lifted.
Clinton’s new memoir, Hard Choices, reveals that Clinton advised President Obama to lift the embargo. “Since 1960, the United States had maintained an embargo against the island in hopes of squeezing [Fidel] Castro from power, but it only succeeded in giving him a foil to blame for Cuba’s economic woes,” Clinton writes.
