In a letter to the US President on Monday, the signatories said that Cuba’s current economic model created business opportunities. They urged the US to send its experts to Cuba to help train Cuban entrepreneurs in financial services, real estate, law, and the private economic sector. The signatories urged the White House to undertake serious discussions with its potential Cuban partners on national security, migration, and the environment.
The President of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), Thomas Donohue, said that he would lead the first official visit for 15 years to Cuba, where he would discuss business opportunities with Cuban investors and government officials and deliver a speech to students at Havana University.
