With new presidents in power, can we expect an easing in relations and a loosening in the embargo?
We have yet to see a big change in it relations today, but Obama has a lot on his plate.
Both Raul Castro and Barack Obama are open to talking with each other.
The UN Condemns the Cuban embargo or "the blockade" as it is called in Cuba with a vote of 185-3, based on a vote in Oct. 2008. Most of the world believes that this embargo establish by President John Kennedy in February of 1962, should be abolished. figures reaching around $92 million are the establishment for the loss that Cuba has had by 2007, because of this embargo.
Barack Obama said he would ease relations allowing Cuban Americans to visit the island and give money to family members with less restriction. Under Bush a Cauban American could only vist Cuba once every three years and donate up to $300 dollars every year to their family. Prior to the Bush administrations tightening of relations, Cuban Americans could go to Cuba once a Year and give $3000 to family.
