Cuba to Obama: End Embargo and Close Gitmo (julie torres)
President Obama met with Cuba's leader, Castro, to discuss issues over the embargo set on Cuba. Castro has been urging Obama to lift the embargo since it's been hindering their economy and well being of their citizens. Though Castro already contributes to the citizens lifestyle, the embargo anyway is affecting their life. The embargo was placed on the once Civil War rival but times have changed and it's time for something like this to change.
Castro asks for Obama to remove the base that is in Gitmo but it also serves as a prison for detainees to reside in, and if removed they wouldn't be held anywhere else
On tuesday Castro and Obama met to discuss laws and other solutions to help out Cuba and honestly thats the best thing to do. Its been about 60 years since the cold war era and this embargo was placed a long time ago and it doesn't make sense now to enforce it still since we now live in different era and have different problems so it'd make sense to at least make some adjustments towards the embargo.

The embargo needs to go. Unless its only intended use was to starve Cubans and deprive them of better living standards, its been absolutely fruitless for the past 50 years.
