A Historic Trip to Havana:

The last time we had an embassy in Cuba was in January of 1961, when we severed diplomatic relations at the height of the Cold War.

Today, more than 54 years later, Secretary of State John Kerry is in Havana to re-open our embassy and take a historic step forward in our efforts to normalize relations with the Cuban government and people.

 Quote of the Day

"My visit to Havana, the first by a U.S. Secretary of State in 70 years, comes nine months after President Obama announced a new approach to relations with Cuba. It is an approach based on the ties that bind our people, the interests shared by our governments, and the mutual respect that should characterize relations between two proud nations -- even when our policies collide."
