The Democratic party generally supported President Obama's move to lift the trade and travel embargo on Cuba.

Slightly agree
No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic
Some Democrats may have supported a more nuanced approach to lifting the embargo, such as lifting the travel embargo but maintaining trade restrictions until Cuba made progress towards democracy.

However, this was not the dominant position within the Democratic party, as most Democrats supported President Obama's move to lift both the trade and travel embargo.

However, some Democrats, particularly those representing Cuban-American communities, may have opposed lifting the embargo due to concerns about human rights abuses in Cuba.
