 Following President Obama's announcement that the United States would move towards normalizing relations with Cuba, Pritzker traveled to Cuba.Although Obama's change in policy did not end the U.S. trade embargo, since ending the embargo required an act of Congress, Pritzker met with Cuban trade ministers and other officials to discuss the changing relationship between the two countries and to lay the groundwork for more economic involvement.Following her tenure as Secretary, Pritzker returned to PSP and the private sector.
