It has been decades since the us and Communist country Cuba discuss migration and postal service issues. Not only did they agree to discus this matter but other concerning issues such as counterterrosim, drug use,and hurricane relief efforts. President Barrack Obama already lifted the ban on restrictions to Cuba.
I believe this is good news to Cuban American families.This whole ordeal sounds great considering the amount of Cubans fleeing Cuba is increasing.This has both a negative and a positive in my perspective.
1)America is known for trying to convert or heavily influence other countries who are communist into becoming a democratic nation.
"Greater connections,” Mrs. Clinton said, “can lead to a better, freer future for the Cuban people. These talks are in the interest of the United States, and they are also in the interest of the Cuban people.”Is this really an act of restoring relations between the two countries or is this the beginning of attempting to convert Cuba into a democratic ally?
2)on the other hand " the United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba.” I think that if America were to level and get on good terms with Cuba it could influence other nations to do the same. This is not a new beginning for US but for other countries as well. there is criticism that US government is taking to long with this process.
In my opinion the US can keep an open mind with out trying to" convert Communist countries". It has been criticized that US government is taking to long matters like this take time. It is a priority with foreign affairs and that is why something is being done now rather then decades later.
