White House: Easing of Cuba Restrictions The New York TimesWASHINGTON — The White House announced on Monday that it is abandoning longstanding restrictions on family travel, remittances and gifts to Cuba, and is also taking steps to open up telecommunications with the island, a significant shift in policy that fulfills a promise President Obama made during his election campaign.
.... If the Obama administration is reaching out to the Cuban people, it is not reaching out to its leader, Fidel Castro, with whom the United States has been estranged in the half-century that he has been in power.
Mr. Gibbs repeated what Mr. Obama said during the campaign: “There are no better ambassadors for freedom than Cuban-Americans.”
