The US president, Barack Obama, is convinced that the US Congress will eventually lift the embargo on Cuba. "I'm sure that Congress will inevitably lift an embargo which should not be there," Obama said at the UN General Assembly.
Obama put the new US policy toward Cuba as an example that the doctrine of dialogue works and bears fruit: US and Cuba reestablished bilateral relations in July, after more than half a century of disruption and ideological confrontation.
In the presence of Cuban President Raul Castro, Obama admited once again that the policy of isolation of the island which his predecessors in the White House had conducted, failed.
The US president recalled that continue to have "differences" with the Cuban government and its government continues to defend the need to improve the rights on the island. "But now we address these issues through diplomatic relations and increased trade," said Obama.
