Hard Talk: Will Warming Cuba-EU Ties Open up U.S.-Cuba Relations?

By Sarah Stephens and Joel Brito

In AQ's Hard Talk, Sarah Stephens and Joel Brito debate whether the island's warming ties with Europe will open up U.S.-Cuba relations.

Sarah Stephens: The EU has recognized that its Common Position has failed to improve human rights in Cuba. It's time for the U.S. to do the same with its embargo.

Joel Brito: The EU is engaged in a discussion that will yield no change in human rights conditions on the island. The U.S. would be wise not to follow the EU's lead.
