W grudniu 2014 roku, po ponad półwieczu nawiązano stosunki dyplomatyczne między Stanami Zjednoczonymi a Kubą. Był to jeden z sukcesów w polityce zagranicznej prezydenta Baracka Obamy, który w marcu 2015 roku złożył wizytę w Hawanie. Wizyta ta oznaczała koniec izolacji Kuby, ale nie doprowadziła do pełnej normalizacji stosunków ani do zniesienia embarga handlowego nałożonego przez USA na Kubę w 1962 roku. Będzie to możliwe dopiero wtedy, kiedy władze Kuby spełnią wymogi ustawy Helmsa-Burtona i wypłacą odszkodowania za znacjonalizowane mienie firm amerykańskich, oraz znacznie zliberalizują obecny system polityczno-gospodarczy.

The political and economic relations between the United States and Cuba have been “frozen” for over 50 years. Only in December 2014 the diplomatic relations between those two states were restored. It was one of the rare achievements of the foreign policy of the president Barack Obama, who in March 2015 paid an official visit in Havana. That visit has brought about in practice the end of Cuba's isolation, but has not led to the full normalization of the political and economic relations. The trade embargo was laid on Cuba by the United States in 1962 and can be eliminated (removed) only by the Congress when the Cuban government will meet the requirements of the Helms-Burton law. They include financial compensation for the nationalized property of the American companies and significant change in the existing political and economic system.
