TAMPA, Fla. — Juan Carlos Cruz hasn’t lost hope. He is motivated to redouble his business to help Cuban families in Tampa and bring them closer with their relatives on the island after the Biden administration eases some restrictions on Cuba.
“It is a positive move after so much uncertainty that we have seen during the last years,” said Cruz, 46, owner of Taino of Tampa & Pedro’s Envios, a travel agency that also offers shipping services to Cuba.
The announcement to ease some Trump-era sanctions on Cuba has gained traction among those who support stronger ties to Cuba. Others disapprove.
