Embargo Or Not, Cuba’s In Business

It seems despite the U.S. sanctioned embargo, Cuba and the U.S. has had many business dealings. Under an agriculture waiver carved out partly on humanitarian grounds, signed in 2000 by Bill Clinton. The waiver also allows for huge shipments of grain, chicken and other products to be delivered to Cuba. This particular story is based around Splash Tropical Drinks, a Fort Lauderdale company who has made good in selling daiquiri mix, various nuts, etc. to Cuba. Could be the start of something.
