U.S. Relaxes Restrictions On Business In Cuba

The U.S. government announced Friday it is easing restrictions on Americans conducting business related to travel, telecommunications and Internet-based services in Cuba. The amendments to Cuba sanctions regulations will ease travel restrictions, allow firms to set up a business presence and offices in Cuba and allow them to open bank accounts. The new rules go in place Monday.
