New York.— US democrat Congresswomen Kathy Castor (D-Fla) and Barbara Lee (D-Cal) criticized the imposition of new limitations on the trips of the Americans to Cuba and warned of their effects on the peoples of both countries.
These latest #CubaTravelBan restrictions take us back to 60 years of failed embargo policy. Isolationism has failed, and it’s past time to end the embargo. pic.twitter.com/N0iMrDOiUh

Americans are our best ambassadors for democracy. Today's announcement by the Trump Admin. to restrict travel to #Cuba is a step backwards. Read my statement with @USRepKCastor. https://t.co/FmrYadJIRD pic.twitter.com/GeTWvOB0Y9

The United States-Cuba Business Council expressed its disappointment over the restrictions and called for respecting the freedom of travel of US citizens.
"We are disappointed that the government has chosen to impose additional restrictions on the conditions and means for travel from the United States to Cuba," the Business Council, which belongs to the North American Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement.
New travel restrictions to Cuba will disrupt business operations, harming U.S. companies and the Cuban people. Read our full statement: https://t.co/7tkastLitt

Rep. Castor gets it right again. Looking forward to a new president overturning this policy and building on the progress we made under President Barack Obama. #Cuba https://t.co/kjzEjy5z5t

Meanwhile, the executive director of the Center for Democracy in the Americas, Emily Mendrala, considered that the new regulations "represent another step backwards that will only undermine the commercial interests of the United States and further divide Cuban families."
Engage Cuba, a coalition that advocates for the lifting of the US blockade and travel ban, stated that restricting US citizens' freedom to travel is an attack to their fundamental rights, and added that the federal government should not be policing where Americans go on vacation.
