[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"We will end an [url=http://dict.qsbdc.com/outdated][b]outdated[/b][/url] approach that for decades has failed to advance our interests and instead we will begin to normalize relations between our two countries. "[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"Equally we have recommended re-establishment of diplomatic relations. This does not mean the main issues have been resolved. "[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]U.S. President [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/99296.html]Obama[/url]'s new approach towards Cuba includes re-establishing an embassy in Havana early next year and carrying out high-level exchanges and visits between the two governments.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]However, Cuban American senator Marco Rubio denounced the new approach.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"This President has proven today that his foreign policy is more than just [url=http://dict.qsbdc.com/naive][b]naive[/b][/url]. It is willfully ignorant of the way the world truly works."[/size][/font]
