Freedom to Export to Cuba Act of 2021

The Freedom to Export to Cuba Act of 2021 proposes to lift the long-standing trade embargo on Cuba by repealing several federal laws that restrict commerce and financial transactions between the two nations. If passed, the bill would allow U.S. businesses to export goods to Cuba more freely, permit American investment in Cuban telecommunications, and remove restrictions on shipping vessels that travel between Cuban and U.S. ports. For everyday citizens, this would simplify the process of sending remittances to family members in Cuba and expand market opportunities for American farmers and manufacturers looking to sell products to Cuban consumers. While the bill removes broad trade prohibitions, it maintains the President’s authority to restrict specific exports for national security reasons or in response to emergency threats.
