The Cuban Revolution came to its end amid economic blockade. Liberty Island reviewed its policy and is ready to resume diplomatic relations with the United States. Raul Castro personally told about this not simple decision delivering a speech to the nation. "For many years we have been insisting on ending of the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the U.S. against Cuba, and we would be happy if it happens," said Castro. The U.S. also reckons on fruitful negotiations with Cuba to normalize relations after more than 50 years of enmity. The U.S. plans to cancel many of present travel bans and restrictions on money transfers, which have a negative impact on Cuba. In addition, under the terms of agreement Cuba will free 53 political prisoners, and the U.S. will review the status of the country in the list of terrorism sponsors. The U.S. President Barack Obama had a telephone conversation with the Cuban President Raul Castro. These changes have presented the most notable shift in the U.S. policy in the West since 1961. The White House said that it will fight to the end with "unnecessary restrictions" on political, social and economic aspects of Cuba. New American course will include the establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, the adjustment of financial rules, the increase in the number of trips between two countries and the development of commercial trade and exports to Cuba from the United States. As part of the resumption of diplomatic relations, the United States will restore its embassy in Havana and work with Cuba in mutual interest spheres including migration, drug control, protection of environment and human trafficking. The new policy will allow travelers to use the U.S. credit and debit cards and increase the financial transactions between the United States and Cuba.
