Follow-up: Clinton responds to Obama’s stance on Cuba

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to an editorial by Barack Obama that advocated change in the U.S. embargo towards Cuba. According to a statement by the current senator and former First Lady:

“Until it is clear what type of policies might come with a new government, we cannot talk about changes in the U.S. policies toward Cuba.”

As we mentioned yesterday, Senator Obama called on easing restrictions on travel and remittances from the U.S. to Cuba and also admonished the Bush administration’s policy towards the island.

Both candidates have quarreled before about Cuba when Clinton objected to Obama’s suggestion that if he was president he would meet with “rogue leaders” in countries like Cuba.
