VINA DEL MAR, Chile — U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said Saturday that the United States is not planning to lift its embargo on Cuba.
When asked at a summit in Chile if Washington plans to scrap the decades-old embargo, Biden said no. He and President Barack Obama “think that Cuban people should determine their own fate and they should be able to live in freedom,” Biden said after the Progressive Governance Summit of leaders from Latin America, Europe and the U.S.
A “transition” is needed in the Washington policy toward the communist-ruled island, but Biden said he was in Chile “to talk about the economy, not Cuba.”At least five Latin American leaders have visited Cuba this year. The Associated Press
