Starting on March 20, President Obama will be traveling to Cuba and Argentina. The historic trip to Cuba, a culminating point in the U.S.-Cuba normalization process and the first visit by a U.S. president in 88 years, is certainly momentous and has already drawn a good deal of attention. But President Obama’s visit to Buenos Aires and meetings with newly-elected President Mauricio Macri are also momentous for a very different reason. Whereas normalization of relations with Cuba removes (among other things) a stumbling block to improved U.S. relations with Latin America, rapprochement with Argentina offers the prospect of rebuilding a mature working relationship with a country that was once one of the most important U.S. partners in the hemisphere.
