Rebuilding relationships with Cuba

We as a country have had an embargo on Cuba since for around 60 years now.  The Obama administration has loosened up some of the travel restrictions since then but now is the first time that a governor will lead a trade mission in Cuba.  The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, will be going to Cuba to promote an initiative for foreign investment in New York State.  This is a big deal because it shows how things have changed.  It isn’t a drastic change like all of the sudden we are vacationing there, but we are sending large politicians there and loosening the restrictions slowly.  Obamas new policy is expanding US travel to and trade with Cuba.  We can slowly start to see the effects of the Cold War drifting away!
