Barack Obama decided to finally break the ice in relations with Cuba. He would like to see his tenure island began an irreversible process of restoring freedom and democracy after 55 years of dictatorship. He intends to visit Cuba on March 21, as part of a trip to Latin America. His visit is to crown a thaw in relations with the communist regime and give a signal that the US will be the best ally of the country, when it chooses to democratic and liberal transformation.

Unlike most politicians visiting Havana Obama as a condition of his journey puts meeting with dissidents , who have been demanding the restoration of fundamental freedoms and the market economy. - I'll go to Cuba if I can talk to whoever I want - said in a December interview with television. - I said clearly Ra lowi President Castro, I want to talk to people who seek to expand freedom of speech.

Politically, the regime of the Castro brothers is still hard dictatorship. The economy while prevailed thaw and the gradual opening of trade with the United States. On the eve of the announcement of presidential travel Cuba and the United States concluded an agreement on the restoration of regular flights. Since the autumn, at least 20 American aircraft have to land every day in Havana and 10 in other cities. Any moment will commence regular ferry, and two days ago the first American factory received permission for the production of small tractors.

The Cuban immigrants can send relatives on the island more money, which is invested in small family businesses. Flying charter, they bring mass televisions, computers and mobile phones. Cuba is visited by tens of thousands of Americans each year, but tourism is still officially prohibited. They go there as University Professors, students, activists and humanitarian missionaries.

In Washington, talks are underway between the trade ministers of both countries. Lead them Cuban Rodrigo Malmierca said that his country has already exceeded the limit, for which "there is no return to the old economic policy," or isolation, autarchy and backwardness.

When opening the island to the world and for the US business, Obama acts contrary to existing since 1961. embargo on trade relations. The president has repeatedly asked Congress for its abolition, but the Republican majority is against it.

The two Republican presidential candidates - Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, both of Cuban origin - are opposed to thaw, but the campaign as loath to criticize the this Obama. They know that it has the support of important business circles who dress down, to invest in Cuba, where missing everything. Meltdown supports the majority of ordinary Americans, including the approx. 2.5 million immigrants and refugees from Cuba.

The last US President who visited the island while in office, was Calvin Coolidge. This happened in 1928. When Cuba was a kind of American protectorate. Former president Jimmy Carter flew there in 2003. But as head of the foundation.
