MIAMI (Reuters) - Cuban Americans met in Miami on Saturday to discuss how to normalise relations with Cuba and end the five decade-long United States embargo against the communist-run island, the first such gathering in a decade in a city better known for hostility toward the communist-run island.
The one-day event was organised by four groups led by Cuban Americans for Engagement (CAFE), founded two years ago to counteract the influence of traditional Cuban exile organisations that support the embargo. Held at a hotel conference room it attracted about 125 attendees, including several invited speakers from Cuba.
