Although the signs of cooperation between Cuba and the United States look positive, they remain well below those just demands, their is a very limited scope and truly don't change the policy against Cuba.
On January 14, 2011, the United States Government announced new measures regarding Cuba. Until now we are still waiting for the publication of the regulations to understand their true objectives, but according to the Press Office of the White House, the measures consist of:
- Allowing US citizens to send remittances to Cuban citizens in limited quantities.
- Authorize US international airports to request permission to operate direct charter flights to Cuba under certain conditions.
- Authorizing travel for US citizens to Cuba for academic, educational, cultural and religious purposes.
The adoption of these measures are the results of large sectors of the US society that for years have protested against the Cuban Embargo and eliminating the absurd travel ban to our country.
