The Big Picture The relationship between Cuba and the United States is changing greatly. I think that this is good for both of them. This will help boost both of the two nations economy greatly. Because it was illegal to bring things back from Cuba now they will be able to sell them here. Also, now people will be able to link up with their long lost family members that they haven’t seen in many years. I couldn’t image not seeing them for that long. Lastly this is another step closer to having Cuba become a democracy. If we become closer with them then we could serve as an example how a democratic government is supposed to work.
