In this Nov. 6, 2013 photo, workers landscape the area near a new port under construction in Mariel, Cuba. Some companies will no doubt be hesitant to set up shop at the new port knowing that U.S. embargo rules would almost certainly prohibit them from selling their products in the United States, and that their Cuban operations could complicate any trade they do with Uncle Sam. Embargo rules prohibit ships from docking in the United States for six months after calling in Cuban ports. (AP Photo/Franklin Reyes)![Cuba_Mariel_Makeover_Vros__3_]()
