Cuba’s attempts to ease its economic problems worsened by the collapse of the Soviet Union was highlighted by Foreign Minister Roberto Urbina tour of the Caribbean. And, the tightening of the US thirty year trade embargo and the collapse of Cuba’s trade has led to speculation that Fidel Castro is currently facing his darkest hour with imports down to a minimum.en_US
