The Wall Street Journal is reporting great news:
President Barack Obama plans to lift a longstanding U.S. ban on family travel and remittances to Cuba, a senior administration official said Friday, in what could be an opening gesture toward more openness with the Castro regime...
The president does not intend to call for lifting of the trade embargo against Cuba, which would require congressional action, nor is any specific diplomatic outreach contemplated, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
But advocates for greater openness with Cuba said the move was significant in and of itself, signaling a willingness of the Obama administration to take a fresh look at Cuba policy early in his presidency.
