U.S. diplomats met with government officials in Cuba
in an effort to normalize relations between the two sovereign
nations. U.S. President Barack Obama recently eased restrictions
between the two nations, which will open up trade and tourism. The
55-year-old embargo can be completely lifted by the U.S. Congress
via legislative measures.
Polls reveal a majority of Americans are in favor of
this move, as are Cubans on the island. However, there is some
opposition to an official decision of this order. The U.S. government seeks to
open an embassy in Havana, Cuba. The Cuba government also seeks to open
an embassy in Washington, D.C. It would mark the beginning of a new
era between the nations.
