Influence of Cuban-American Lobbying Groups on US-Cuba Relations

Cuban-American lobbying groups in the US, particularly influential since the 70s and 80s, have key positions within the US government, impacting Cuba-US relations. Members like Paul Menendez, irrespective of political affiliation, have been significant in hindering the improvement of relations between the two countries.
