It has been a long time coming. Over 50 years, in fact, since the US severed diplomatic ties and closed its doors to Cuba.
Today it was announced that the United States and Cuba embassies will reopen to one another tomorrow on July 1, 2015, as reported by the AP.
This reopening demonstrates the diplomatic thaw that has occurred between the two countries, spurred on by economic and political troubles in Cuba’s longtime patron, Venezuela.
