U.S. and Cuban representatives are scheduled to meet in Havana to have migration talks. The meetings are supposed to help with the tension that was felt in the 1960's between Cuba and the United States. In the meetings, the two countries' diplomats discuss areas of interest and the implementation of an accord that gives Cuba 20,000 visas to the United States annually. These talks were suspended in 2011 after a US subcontractor was accused of acting against Cuba's national sovereignty. The talks have resumed. One issue that may come up in this meeting is Cuba's recent banking woes.
I think that these talks are a great thing. I think that whenever we are trying to improve our relationship with other countries that it should be done like this. We shouldn't have to fight over our disagreements. It's a great thing that we are working things out. I don't like how a US subcontractor disturbed these meetings for acting against Cuba's national sovereignty. He should have represented the US better. He was just being selfish and caused some major problems.

I agree, friendly (or at least peaceful) discussion is always a good thing. And I think the idea of giving Cuba 20,000 Visas is good as well.
ReplyDeleteYay for peace! I love the thoughts of a diplomatic approach especially if it starts out on the right foot. Its sad because there always is that one person who seems to stall or mess something up like that crazy sub-contracter guy.
