1. “Obama To Visit Cuba Next Month”

2. President Obama is planning a trip to Cuba some time next month, marking the first time in more than 80 years a sitting U.S. president will visit the country. The visit will be officially announced on Thursday. The trip is planned for March 21-22. Since December 2014 Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro have been working on restoring diplomatic relations between the countries. Since that time a prisoner exchange was carried out. Embassies in Havana and Washington, D.C., were reopened last summer. On Tuesday the two nations signed an agreement to restore scheduled commercial air service for the first time in decades as early as later this year. Word that Obama will visit Cuba brought immediate criticism from Republican presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Marco Rubio of Fla., both the sons of Cuban immigrants to the U.S. Cruz said Obama should not visit Cuba while the Castro family remains in power. Rubio condemned the planned visit to an "anti- American communist dictatorship."
