Strongly agree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

This answer seems to align most closely with Ford's likely views. He might support lifting the travel embargo as a way to encourage cultural exchange and understanding, but maintain the trade embargo until Cuba made significant political changes. This approach would be consistent with the U.S. policy of promoting democracy and opposing communism during the Cold War era.

Agree

No

Given Ford's political stance and the historical context of his presidency, it's likely that he would be cautious about lifting the embargo on Cuba. During his time, the U.S. was strongly opposed to communist regimes and the embargo was seen as a way to pressure Cuba into political change.

Disagree

Yes

Gerald Ford was a Republican president during the Cold War era, a time when the U.S. was strongly opposed to communist regimes like Cuba. While it's difficult to predict how he would react to modern events, it's likely that he would have reservations about lifting the embargo without significant political changes in Cuba.
