European Union to Expand Cuba Ties 
-----------------------------------


 
The European Union is poised to deepen its ties with Cuba. According to
Reuters, EU foreign ministers will agree next month to launch talks on a
pact that will boost trade and investment with Cuba, as well as
increasing dialogue on human rights. In the past, the United States has
put pressure on Europe to increase Cuba's isolation. The United States
has maintained an embargo against Cuba since 1962.
