Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, both members of Congress from Florida, asked the US treasury department to clarify what license the two stars had obtained to travel to Cuba. "Cuba's tourism industry is wholly state-controlled; therefore, US dollars spent on Cuban tourism directly fund the machinery of o ppression that brutally represses the Cuban people," they wrote. Beyonce and Jay-Z turned heads in the Cuban capital on Thursday when they toured the streets of Old Havana. Visiting historical landmarks, they took photos and chatted to local residents.
