Central Florida - The election of Barrack Obama could help ease travel and trade restrictions against the island nation of Cuba and Florida could be the chief be beneficiary. According to business groups:
“We support the complete removal of all trade and travel restrictions on Cuba. We recognize that change may not come all at once, but it must start somewhere, and it must begin soon,”
The groups included American Farm Bureau Federation, Business Roundtable, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Retail Federation and Grocery Manufacturers Association, whose collective membership comprises a broad cross-section of American industry and agriculture according to this article from Reuters.
