For the first time in 88 years, an American president is going to Cuba

President Obama will travel to Cuba next month in a push to normalize relations between the long-estranged countries, the White House announced on Thursday morning."I'll travel to Cuba to advance our progress and efforts that can improve the lives of the Cuban people," Obama tweeted. He added that human rights issues will be part of the agenda as well."We still have differences with the Cuban government that I will raise directly. America will always stand for human rights around the world."
