Oxfam urges US Congress to lift Cuba embargo

‘Leading poverty charity Oxfam has called on the US Congress to lift the trade embargo on Cuba as the Caribbean island nation has been dealing with economic woes.
Oxfam’s director Winnie Byanyima said the global aid agency planned to formally launch a campaign against the US embargo as part of the strategy of supporting Havana.
“Cuba needs to engage in the global economy and the embargo cuts them out,” Byanyima said.
“We are going to be calling for a lifting of that embargo and normalizing relations sooner rather than later,” she added.’
