The Cuban Revolution of 1959 resulted in the U.S. severing diplomatic ties with Cuba in 1961 and began focusing on destroying the Communist regime. Also the U.S. imposed an embargo which is a set of restrictions and bans of the Cuban regime. The current U.S. President, Barack Obama, has called for the ending of this embargo. He and Cuban President Raul Castro announced the beginning of a repairing relations between Cuba and the U.S. This has resulted in U.S. airlines submitting proposals to the Transportation Department to fly approximately 100 daily flights to Cuba. Department officials are to review the proposals with benefits to passengers being the main focus. Flights could begin as early as fall. Expanding travel is a key element of the president’s policy he is proposing

I believe the article.U.S.: Flights to Cuba expected to begin by fall is important to read because it brings awareness to the fact that our President is successfully reaching his goal of repairing relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Foreign relations is one of the most important tasks a president must attempt. It is comforting to know the decade’s old embargo is in the process of being dissolved.
