It was the Republican's third visit to Havana. In 2005, he signed deals to export $30 million worth of agricultural products to Cuba, and Nebraska officials agreed to a similar deal a year ago, with about a third of those contracts executed since, the governor said.
Past agreements have sent Nebraska beans, corn, wheat, turkey, pork, beef and soy products to the island. |
