Havana, June 13, (RHC), - U.S. Republican Senator for Kansas, Jerry Moran, and Independent Senator for Maine, Angus King on Thursday introduced legislation to restore trade with Cuba.

The Cuba Trade Act of 2015 (S. 1543) would grant the private sector the freedom to export U.S. goods and services to Cuba while protecting U.S. taxpayers from any risk or exposure associated with such trade.

“I am proud to have my colleague Senator King join me in introducing the Cuba Trade Act of 2015,” Sen. Moran said.

“For far too long, the Cuban people and American businesses have suffered at the hands of an antiquated trade embargo,” Sen. King said. “Like the Cold War that created it, the embargo should be put in the history books.”
