President Barack Obama will start an official visit to Cuba on March 21 and 22, the first visit by a US president in over eight decades and following the reestablishment of bilateral diplomatic relations on July 20, 2015.
On the road to normal bilateral relations, Cuba and the United States have key pending issues to tackle, such as the lifting of the over-50-year US economic, commercial and financial blockade of the island nation, the return to Cuba of the illegally occupied Cuban territory of Guantanamo, where Washington maintains a naval base and the end of subservice TV and radio transmissions to the island.
