President Obama’s visit to Cuba is not only restoring the political relationship between the United States and the island in the Caribbean.

The Obama administration, which faces substantial opposition in Congress to the normalization of the relationship with Cuba, aims that such economic steps will soon make the new ties between the two countries irreversible.
