2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series – Cuba and the U.S.
February 25, 2016 at 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Cuba and the U.S.
Speaker: Dr. Jennie Lincoln
The U.S. announced in December 2014 that, after decades of isolation, it has begun taking major steps to normalize relations with Cuba. The announcement marks a dramatic shift away from a policy that has its roots in one of the darkest moments of the Cold War — the Cuban missile crisis. Although the U.S. trade embargo is unlikely to end any time soon, American and Cuban leaders today are trying to bring a relationship, once defined by antithetical ideologies, into the 21st century.
