Topic Reading-Vol.1146-6/1/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Cuba officially off U.S. terror blacklist
The move looks at least historic. The U.S. removed its neighboring island country from its list of countries that sponsor terrorism. It’s the first step to restore normal relationship, diplomatically and economically. Currently, they don’t have embassies or trade businesses, so they need to start and keep official and regular diplomatic dialogues. The next step seems to be the lift of the embargo on Cuba by the U.S. that's been in place since 1960. However, there are concerns and worries in America to treat Cuba in a same way as other countries because of their communism and dictatorship regime.
The distance between Havana and Key West, Florida is only 180km, which was swam by a 65-year-old woman, and another 180km to reach Miami. While one senior citizen can reach the other shore of the water, diplomats still seem to face difficulties to normalize the bilateral relationship.
Is this one of the second-term president’s efforts to mark a symbolic milestone during his leaving the office?
Enjoy reading and learning this new move to normalize a relationship between neighboring countries.
