According to Reuters, Barack Obama has declared his intentions to reopen talks with the Cuban government and it's new leader Raul Castro. The talks began with the simple issue of mail. The two nations met to discuss reopening the mail system between Cuba and the US. Mail usually takes about two months to arrive from one country to another. Even though the step seems miniscule, this is a huge leap forward in foreign policy for both nations. These talks represent a complete change in US foreign policy considering former President George W. Bush completely cut ties from the communist state. Both sides emerged happily from the first meeting and are eager to continue their mutual efforts into the future.
