Obama to Cuba: A gamble to end the embargo (Ted Piccone, Brookings)

Today we learned that after shifting to a new policy of engagement with one of our closest neighbors, President Obama plans to visit Cuba next month. This is a big step, to be sure, and gives the president an opportunity to show his support for the Cuban people directly to them. President Obama and President Castro met at the Summit of the Americas in Panama last April, but a bilateral visit like this will have much deeper impact, at least symbolically.
