I know the focus of trade missions is the Asia-Pacific region, but if there is a trade mission going in the other direction across the Atlantic, Cuba should be considered. If we had a trade mission, including Cuba, would it be able to make progress because of the embargo? We know of firms that have been fined because they have had engagement with Cuba. I love the agreement which has been a long time coming, but we need to get onto the next step now.
