Cuban Restrictions Relaxed

U.S. Congress yesterday passed a bill that relaxes some of the previous restrictions placed on the communist island of Cuba. As soon as Obama signs it into law, Cubans will be better able to import agricultural and medical goods, and Cuban-Americans will be able to visit their families in Cuba for longer than 2 weeks, and annually as opposed to once every 3 years.
The Cuban exile community in Miami received the news with mixed reactions- with many welcoming the move toward closer relations with Washington, and other anti-communists opposing the relaxation of sanctions.
