Cuban-American relations: Baby steps
IT IS far too early to speak of a new dawn in Cuban-American relations. But since Barack Obama became president, he has revived the Florida Straits strategy of Bill Clinton, his Democratic predecessor, which promoted greater “people-to-people” contact between the two countries while bypassing intransigence from Cuba’s government. Shortly after taking office, Mr Obama won passage of legislation that allowed Cuban-Americans to visit the island and to send money there. Now, senior officials in his administration and in the Democratic Party are saying he plans to formalise the further liberalisation of travel restraints between the countries that has taken place since then.(2)
