A group of legislators who visited Cuba last month is urging Governor Ventura to lead a Minnesota delegation there.

Ventura reportedly is interested; his staff has been discussing a possible trip to Cuba with governors from other Midwestern states.

Ventura has long opposed the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba. He told the legislators he has notified the incoming Bush Administration, who tapped the governor for a transition advisory panel on trade, that he supports opening trade there.

Ventura spokesman John Wodele says the governor has been approached by the Midwestern Governors Conference about making a joint trip to Cuba, but has made no commitment.
