US Exports to Cuba Jump as Fuel, Cars and Food Get Past Trump’s Blockade

US exports to Cuba have seen a significant increase this year, driven by businesses exploiting a trade loophole to bypass President Trump’s sanctions, sending fuel, cars, furniture, and food to the island nation. This surge highlights the complexities of international trade regulations and the resilience of businesses in finding ways around restrictive policies. The shift is notable because it underscores the ongoing economic ties between the two countries despite political tensions, suggesting a potential for future growth in bilateral trade.
