Obama: U.S. Will Re-Establish Diplomatic Relations With Cuba
During a press conference this morning that was broadcast live on Cuban TV, President Obama announced that the U.S. has agreed to formally re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. “We don’t have to be imprisoned by the past,” the president said before calling for Congress to lift the 53-year-old embargo. Secretary of State Kerry will travel to Havana to open a U.S. embassy later this summer.
