This is a super major achievement for Obama, especially since Cuba is such and important country and because it was so hard to stop boycotting them.
The Obama administration has reached an agreement with Cuba’s government to re-establish diplomatic ties and open embassies in each other’s capitals for the first time in more than half a century, a senior administration official said.
President Barack Obama — who upended 50 years of strained U.S.-Cuba relations in December — will announce the news at 11 a.m. on Wednesday in the Rose Garden. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is in Vienna for talks on Iran’s nuclear program, will also make an announcement.
The move comes shortly after the administration removed one chief stumbling block to renewed relations, striking Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The two nations had engaged in a series of talks since December aimed at re-establishing ties, hashing out sticking points, including how many diplomats would be authorized for each embassy and whether Cuba can offer assurances of freedom of movement for U.S. diplomats around the island.
This is something that has just sat around forever, waiting for someone to be like “hey, it would be great press if we called Cuba up – why don’t we do that?”
This involved absolutely nothing. There was no negotiating necessary and nothing is at stake. It’s a victory like ordering a free sample of something through the mail is a victory.
Dumb.
