When people say that the president wants to reestablish relations with cuba, the United States has had diplomatic relations with cuba since 1977. The American Mission in cuba is the largest islamic omatic nation in cuba and it has been for many years. There are more american diplomats in cuba than canadians or any other. I also said that the notion of saying, is something hasnt worked, we have to do Something Else. The Something Else has to work. Just because something does
