On the recordDecember 7, 2004
I felt that having an embargo on food shipments to Cuba all those years was wrong. It didn't affect Fidel Castro. We tried to injure Fidel Castro by slapping on this embargo which included food and medicine, which I thought was an insidious policy. It didn't hurt Fidel Castro. He never missed a breakfast, lunch, or dinner because we were not able to sell food into Cuba.
