Fresh from meetings with top foreign ministers in Cuba, congressman Ed Perlmutter, D-Arvada, said Monday that Congress should lift the long-standing embargo the U.S. has imposed.
“It’s time to move on, and that embargo should be repealed,” said Perlmutter, one of about three dozen members of Congress who traveled to Cuba this week with President Barack Obama.
In a phone interview from Havana, Perlmutter cited potential benefits for Colorado if the embargo is lifted — such as new markets for the state’s agriculture industry and a new tourism destination for Coloradans.
“It’s very exciting,” he said.
