[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These types of trips are common for any mayor of a major American city, to develop trade and other relationships. That doesn't make it any less of a junket, mind you, but there are actual reasons.[/quote] What trade exactly? Does DC grow corn, wheat, soybeans to sell to Cuba? Fabricate advanced medicines? Manufacture anything that can be exported? The only trade and relationships that the DC will form with Cuba will be the cronies and hucksters trying to wheedle "consulting" business there. Consider, for example, DC's strong trade relationships with Africa, forged over many taxpayer junkets. :lol: [/quote] Consulting is trade! (I [i]did[/i] write that it was a still a junket.)[/quote]
