Obama's Cuba Announcement

Dear reader,

On Wednesday, after 53 years of economic and travel sanctions, President Obama made a dream come true for our friends in Cuba. The announcement of improved relations between the U.S. and Cuba was met with elation in Cuba. A close friend described the moment in Havana: 

“I was walking to work and heard church bells ringing over the din of an ordinary Cuban morning. Next I saw people running into neighbors’ homes shouting and hugging. When I stopped a reveller to ask what was happening, he explained that Cuba and the US are going to be friends again."

For Cubans, it’s really that simple.

As insightCuba nears its 15th anniversary of sending Americans to Cuba legally, the President’s announcement was a gift not only to the Cuban people but to all of us. It allows us, and you, to do something generations of Americans have been unable to do. Travel to Cuba.
