"To help warm relations with Cuba,
Obama has removed the country from a U.S. list of terrorism-supporting
nations. He also has loosened red tape for travelers to Cuba, but only for approved purposes that do not include tourism — although U.S. tourists are going anyway.
"In
addition, Obama has eased, but not fully lifted, the long-standing
embargo on trade. Among the changes: Building materials for private home
construction and digital communications equipment can be exported. And
travelers will be able to use U.S. credit and debit cards in Cuba.
Meanwhile, talks are underway between Washington and Havana to
re-establish full diplomatic relations between the two countries."
