The Champ to meet Raúl Castro Tuesday during UN general assembly
2015-09-28
[Guardian] Barack Obama will hold a formal meeting with Cuban president Raul Castro on Tuesday.

The meeting will be held on the sidelines of the annual United Nations general assembly, a massive gathering of world leaders in New York City.

It will be the second face-to-face meeting between Obama and Castro since the US and Cuba restored diplomatic relations late last year. Obama and Castro also convened a rare phone call earlier this month, ahead of Pope Francis's visit to both their countries.

At the UN on Sunday, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov urged the US to lift its embargo on Cuba and to end other sanctions which he said "bypassed the UN security council".

#3  Communist meets communist. Probably the keys to Gitmo will be turned over just as soon as the terrorists are relocated.

#2  An American flag went up with a special ceremony at the newly opened U.S. Embassy in Havana. A special flag lowering ceremony will no doubt be required at GITMO.
