U.S.-Cuba Relations

Alan Gross landed on U.S. soil this week after five years in prison in Cuba.It was part of a prisoner swap between the U.S. and Cuba that unraveled to be the beginning of a new diplomatic relationship. President Obama announced coming changes that affect South Florida families with ties to the island. Is this a new beginning or a false start in relations between the U.S. and Cuba? The future of the trade embargo will receive more scrutiny in the weeks ahead. 

Jeb Bush

Earlier this month, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush spoke in Coral Gables about Cuba relations and making the embargo stronger. He announced Tuesday that he will "actively explore the possibility of running for president," just a day before Obama's announcement about the communist island. What's Bush's campaign strategy now? 

Haiti

Another Caribbean country is struggling with a political crisis. Haiti’s prime minister Laurent Lamothe resigned under pressure and more unrest as the public rallies to speed up elections.
