PRESIDENT OBAMA’S VISIT TO CUBA 2

Introduction

The republic of Cuba is a sovereign state; it is the largest island in the Caribbean. Cuba is one of

the few countries in the world that still practice socialism. President Obama arrived in Havana

the capital city of Cuba for a three day visit which is aimed at discussions of issues that face the

two countries. This is the first Visit of a sitting US president to Cuba in 88 years since Calvin

Coolidge visit in 1928. His visit to Cuba will greatly be remembered in history as a great event

by a US President and as one of president Obama’s legacies. The visit was as a result of

diplomatic discussions that were declared by both the US president and the President of Cuba in

December 2014, this brought to an end a long time disagreement between the two countries that

were witnessed when the Cuban government revolution overthrew the American government

policies.

Obama’s visit is a sign of essential move from these policies of isolation, hostility and regime

change to a strategy of engagement by the United States government, the purpose of the visit is

to have normal relationship with the Cuban government. Obama’s decision to visit Cuba and

how he was received by the people of and the Cuban President shows us that the two presidents

plan to make great changes by improving relations between the two countries (Dunne, 2016).

President Obama deserted the Cuba isolation policy by the US and he is expected to hold

discussions with the Cuban president on major issues facing the two countries; if the discussions

between the two presidents go well then there will be achievement of a number of issues that are

currently on the table. Obama’s visit has a lot of imagery after years of hostility between

Washington and Cuba; he is required to aid in new agreements on matters of common interest,

and reduction of obstacles on both sides that are limiting commercial relations.

The greatest obstacle to having a complete normal relation between Cuba and the United States

of America government is the continuous U.S. economic embargo that was imposed to prevent

Havana from its neighbors. There have been many challenges between the two countries, the

Cuban business firms are unable to export any type of goods to the United States while most of

the United States investors cannot invest in Cuba or collaborate with any Cuban firms. The

Cuban government and the US government agreed to come together and discussion this issues,

the two sides have so far reestablished diplomatic ties and signed major commercial agreements

on telecommunications and scheduled airline service (Lieberman, 2009). President Obama
