New York Times Article 3

Obama to Loosen Restrictions on Policy with Cuba April 5

Obama plans to abandon restrictions on family travel and remittances to Cuba. The House and Senate are considering legislation that would allow all Americans unlimited travel to Cuba.

Obama, however, is not expected to lift the trade embargo which calls for Congressional approval.

Cuban-Americans as of now, are allowed to travel once a year to the island to visit close relatives. Support for these changes has been growing in the U.S. and Latin America.
