CUBAN PRESIDENT FIDEL CASTRO LAUNCHES UNPRECEDENTED TRADE FAIR WITH US BUSINESS GROUPS IN HAVANA, 2002-09-26 (photo)

Cuban President Fidel Castro tries a chocolate milkshake and hamburger at the start of the largest U.S. and Cuban trade show since the 1950s, in Havana, September 26, 2002. A group of top American food and agricultural executives with some 280 companies from 33 states hope to recover a lost market for U.S. food products as they push for further lifting of sanctions imposed on Cuba after Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution. Cuban officials expect to sign hundreds of contracts at the five-day food fair to attract more U.S. interest and encourage growing political support for legislation now before the U.S. Congress to lift a ban on American tourists going to Cuba.
