Obama made history today by visiting Cuba to discuss trade and lifting the embargo between them and the United States with Raul Castro (successor to the infamous Fidel Castro). Barack Obama is the first President to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge almost 90 years ago. It's interesting to see that candidate Ted Cruz is criticizing Obama for not being more attentive to revolutionary citizens in Cuba, especially since Cruz is of Cuban heritage himself - furthermore, it's interesting about Cruz in general that he was born in Canada, descended from Cubans, and has voiced a very strong, firm stance against immigration.
Hopefully Obama and Castro are able to call off the embargo and end what has caused both countries to struggle with trade for so long. Anybody who says Obama has done nothing while in office should just be shown this link, it speaks for itself.

Obama has definitely contributed to this country I agree.
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be beneficial for both countries to have the embargo lifted. Hopefully Obama and Castro can come to an agreement soon.
