  13. President Obama's three-day visit will focus on deepening long-neglected commercial ties between the United States and Cuba, but also drawing a harder line on human rights abuses by the Castro government. Just hours before his arrival, Cuban authorities arrested more than 50 human rights activists at the weekly Ladies in White protest outside Havana.

  29. Obama’s decision to visit Cuba and his reception by President Raúl Castro demonstrates that the two presidents intend to make improving relations a priority in the coming year. If it goes well, the visit will accelerate progress on a range of issues that are currently under discussion, facilitate new agreements on issues of mutual interest, and reduce the obstacles on both sides that are limiting commercial relations.

  43. This is an important event in history as not only is the president accomplishing a feat that hasn`t been done over 88 years, but also is a step in helping institute change in a country infamous for being a communist nation. Some time ago, Cuba was a dictatorial nation that supported Russia during the Cold War, which left America with no choice but to relinquish all ties with the nation, which left it broken for many years. Fortunately, Cuba in recent years has begun to shed its old ways, and has begun to adopt a market system, which has caught our nation`s eye. President Obama`s visit may actually help rekindle the old ties the nations had severed many years before.
