Washington — In denying a leading U.S. agribusiness group the right to travel to Cuba, the Treasury Department has touched off complaints that it has no fixed guidelines on who should be allowed to visit the communist island.
The nonprofit Farm Foundation had hoped to send a group to Cuba last week on a fact-finding mission, but the Treasury Department rejected the group's license requests and has de-clined to say why.
"My observation is that there is no absolute standard as to what gets approved and what doesn't," said Dan Glickman, a former Kansas congressman and U.S. agriculture secretary who was scheduled to make the trip.
