Big News: President Obama Is Headed to Cuba
https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/02/18/big-news-president-obama-headed-cuba
President Barack Obama planned and went to Cuba March 21st. This trip is monumental to United States diplomacy. President Obama was the first president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge traveled to Cuba in 1928. This venture to Cuba is great for the forward progress between opening back up relations between Cuba and the United States.
President Obama definitly followed his role as Chief Diplomat with this trip to Cuba. He is using his ability as Chief Diplomat to open relations with the foreign country. The president came under a lot of fire from the opposite side of the political spectrum during this trip though. The bombings and attacks of Belgium did not stop the POTUS to continue onto Cuba and later Argentina. This created lots of unwaranted drama between the two major political parties in the USA. By continuing onto cuba, President Obama showed he will not be scared by terrorism. Many good things came out of this trip as well. Meetings with the new president of Argentina proved to be successful and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Cuba. All bad jokes aside, the opening of relations between both Cuba and the United States can be very beneficial for both countries.
