US policy towards Cuba is 'a mistake'
Says Jimmy Carter

Former US president Jimmy Carter - on a visit to Cuba - has criticised US policy towards the island.

US policy towards Cuba, including the trade embargo and travel ban, is a mistake, said Carter.

Carter, who is wrapping up a three day visit to the communist run island, also called on the Cuban government to move towards democratic reforms.

Carter said the decades-long US trade embargo and travel ban damaged the Cuban people and hindered rather than helped reform.
