When President Obama arrives in Trinidad and Tobago this week for the Summit of the Americas, the one country in the region not present may be the one he hears the most about: Cuba.
President Obama embarked on a trip to several Latin American countries Thursday.
Latin American leaders overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. trade embargo imposed on the communist island in 1962 -- years after Fidel Castro led a revolution to overthrow Cuba's Batista dictatorship.

An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby, placing him safely alongside her own new puppies.
The country's media are calling him "the miracle baby".
He was born prematurely to a 14-year-old girl in a shanty town outside the capital, Buenos Aires.
She is said to have panicked and abandoned the boy in a field, surrounded by wooden boxes and rubbish.
Then along came La China, reports say, the dog which somehow picked up the baby and carried her 50m to place him alongside her own puppies.
The dog's owner reported hearing the child crying and finding him covered with a rag.
The baby, weighing 4kg (8lb 13oz), had some slight injuries, but no bite marks.
Owner's concern
The owner called the police and the child is now being looked after by the authorities, while a decision is taken about his future.
The frightened mother appeared shortly after her baby was found.
The Argentine media has descended on the shanty town, talking of "the Argentine Romulus and Remus", the founders of Rome, abandoned as babies and rescued by a wolf, nearly 3,000 years ago.
La China, worried about her own puppies, is reported to be petrified by her new found fame, and her owner says he is worried that she is not eating.An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an... more
