US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said it would be unwise for Washington to lift an embargo against Cuba, despite its pleas following Hurricane Gustav. Cuba spurned an offer from the US to send hurricane victims $100,000 in aid through relief organizations and said that the United States should instead sell it relief supplies and allow food sales on credit. Rice said US President George W. Bush had made clear that Washington would be "responsive" to the Cuban regime if it was prepared to free political prisoners and had a process for free and fair elections, among other reforms.
