Oscar Fernández's business dreams in the U.S. are stymied by recent sanctions and longstanding restrictions on the communist island. Angelo Mastrascusa

His Cuban mangos sell worldwide. Why not America? It's complicated.

Óscar Fernández marveled at the rows of dehydrated mango and pineapple as he stood in the aisle at a Trader Joe’s in Washington, DC, wondering how to get mango slices from his Cuban company, Deshidratados Habana, on those shelves.

But Fernández knows his company has a ceiling. Even after Cuba changed its laws Sept. 2 to allow private businesses to deal directly with foreign companies, he’s at the mercy of stalled negotiations between Cuba and the United States.

For years, U.S. officials have urged Cuba to open its economy and empower its private sector, but sanctions aimed at punishing regime leaders and fomenting political change on the communist island have stunted its growth.

“The mango tree doesn't care who the U.S. president is,” Fernández said.

Also: A researcher warned AI could end humanity. Congress is starting to freak out.
And: Oil hit $100 a barrel for the first time since July. What's next for gas?
