New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will lead one of the first trade missions to Cuba from the United States since the Obama administration loosened travel and trade restrictions on the communist-ruled Caribbean island, his office confirmed Saturday.
The Democratic governor will be promoting an initiative which seeks to attract foreign investment to New York state, said spokeswoman Melissa DeRosa.
"As part of the Global NY initiative, Gov. Cuomo plans to lead a trade mission to Cuba. This is one of several such trips promoting New York that he plans to take in the coming term," she said.
