Washington, June 13 (RHC/Wires)-- As the Donald Trump administration prepares to announce a new U.S. policy toward Cuba in Miami on Friday, a poll shows a majority of Americans support policies that expand trade and tourism with the island nation.
The poll released Monday shows 65 percent of voters support maintaining the Cuba policy launched by former President Barack Obama in December 2014, with only 18 percent opposing.
The current policy is supported across age, gender and political affiliations, with 60 percent or higher from all groups, including Republicans.
The survey was conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of Engage Cuba, an organization based in Washington that supports better relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
“The overwhelming support of the American people for continuing this policy of Cuba engagement should serve as a warning flag to President Trump,” Engage Cuba president James Williams said in a statement.
