FP Passport asks the question: Why is Obama playing telephone with Castro?
Obama reportedly asked the Spanish President to ask the Spanish Foreign Minister to tell the Castro regime to "take steps to reform and improve human rights." It seems a convoluted way to deliver a message that is surely not new news to the Cuban government. What's Obama's aim here?
This surely isn't the strangest chapter in the strained relationship between the two close neighbors. As a part of his investigation into Cuba and its potential for a new revolution, Vanguard's Adrian Baschuk spoke to a veritable gaggle of Cuba watchers. This is one of the web extras from the show - a deeper look at US-Cuba relations.
