NY governor plans trade visit

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is planning a trade mission to Cuba, the Governor's Office confirmed on Saturday. Details of the trip have yet to be announced.

Cuomo will be among the first high-profile US officials to visit Cuba since the Obama administration announced in December historic moves to normalize full relations with the Caribbean island.

The Democratic governor is to promote an initiative to attract foreign investment to New York State, said spokeswoman Melissa DeRosa.
