The Richmond City Council passed a resolution calling for an end to the U.S. embargo and the removal of Cuba from the U.S. government’s State Sponsors of Terrorism list. “The embargo creates obstacles,” said Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez. “When in Havana last year, I saw a magnificent city in disrepair, a city that could rival many other cities if it only had the capital to make those repairs…Like the Zionists in Israel, our nation is punishing the people of Cuba for a wrong they did not commit.” Several major U.S. cities have passed similar resolutions, including Boston, Chicago and Washington D.C.
