美国农场主欢迎与古巴的关系正常化

     US - National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson applauded the Obama administration on the important steps announced 17 December to normalise relations between the United States and Cuba.

　     "NFU has worked hard over the last five years to push for a normalisation of relations with Cuba," said Mr Johnson."Acknowledging that Cuba is one of our closest neighbours and a potentially valuable trading partner, and allowing the relationships between the two nations and its citizens to renew and blossom is good for both nations," he said.

       The administration’s announcement noted that decades of isolation have failed to accomplish the US goals of promoting a democratic and prosperous Cuba. Under the agreement the US Commerce Department will ease the financial regulations on US agricultural sales to Cuba as part of a normalisation of US-Cuban relations.
