President Obama is at the Summit of the Americas in Panama. Cuba is also attending the meetings. US-Cuban relations are on the agenda and President Obama says he is looking at whether to remove Cuba from the list of nations that sponsor terrorism. This would be another major step in US-Cuban relations and help pave the way for the reopening of embassies in each country. We’ll discuss the summit and the state of US-Cuban relations with Alberto Coll, director of the Latin American Studies program at DePaul University.
