US President Barack Obama in Cuba
The last sitting US President to visit Cuba was Calvin Coolidge, who
arrived on a US battleship in 1928, to be greeted by a Cuban artillery
salute. When Air Force One touched down at Jose Marti International
Airport in Havana on Sunday, the welcome extended to Barack Obama was
rather less spectacular, but no less warm. As he met with the staff of
the new US Embassy in the Cuban capital, Mr Obama describe his three-day
trip as “a historic visit and a historic opportunity.”
