The administration of US President George W. Bush said Sunday it sees no wisdom now in ending an economic embargo against Cuba, a longtime demand the Havana government renewed as a way to speed aid after Hurricane Gustav swamped the island.
A US offer to send a disaster assessment team was declined Saturday by the Cuban Foreign Ministry, which did not mention the $100,000 in humanitarian assistance that Washington also offered through nonprofit groups.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, wrapping up a trip to North Africa, told reporters that Bush consistently has said the US would be responsive "to a Cuban regime that is prepared to release political prisoners (and) has a process to get to free and fair elections." But, she added, "we can see nothing that suggests that has come about."
Cuba said Saturday it would rather Washington suspend restrictions on tra RABAT, Morocco vel and the sale of food and other materials it needs to recover.
