有betty的地方就有答疑~The United States remains committed to helping Cuba find a path to freedom, said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson.  
The United States is committed to supporting the Cuban people's desire to freely determine their own future. Recently, the United States has eased travel restrictions to the island nation and permitted Cuban Americans to send remittances to Cuba. This is part of a strategy to enhance the free flow of information to, from, and within the island, support civil society, and provide Cubans with resources to take advantage of opportunities for self-employment and private property, reduce their dependence on the Cuban state, and fuel the emergence of a market economy that we hope will eventually challenge the dominance of Cuba's current ineffective, state-run economic model.  
United States also recognizes the importance of engaging with the pro-democracy and human rights activists who have been working for years to expand the political and civil rights of all Cubans. U.S. foreign assistance programs in Cuba provide humanitarian assistance to political prisoners and their families, support the documentation of human rights abuses, and promote the free flow of information.“美国一贯致力于支持古巴寻求解放，”美国西半球事务助国务卿Roberta Jacobson如是说。
美国绝对支持古巴民众当家作主的意愿。近日，美国放松了对岛国旅行的限制，允许古巴裔美国人向古巴汇款。这也是与岛国之间和岛国内部，加强信息自由的举措之一。美国支持民权社会，向古巴提供各类资源，促进其充分利用契机发展市场经济，最终不负所望淘汰当前占主导地位的拖沓繁冗的国有制经济模式。
同时，美国意识到，与多年来为扩展古巴政治公民权益的民主人权积极分子并肩作战的重要意义。美国为古巴的政治犯及其家属提供人道主义援助，支持对人权滥用进行记录，加强信息的自由传播。
