HAVANA nike air max 97 womens rose gold , Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- As U.S. President Barack Obama is to visit Cuba, his biggest challenge is to make his legacy of rapprochement with Cuba irreversible, an analyst said Saturday.
Obama, who has announced to visit Cuba on March 21-22, will become the first sitting U.S. president to travel to the Caribbean country in 88 years.
"The (Obama) administration's challenge is to make this process irreversible" as many people think it can be reversed if a Republican wins the upcoming presidential race in the United States mens nike air max 97 uk , Reynaldo Taladrid told a TV news show.
"It seems one of Obama's most important legacies will be restoring ties with Cuba," Taladrid said, especially given Obama's foreign policy failures on Syria and Iraq.
But that legacy appears fragile, with overwhelming opposition to U.S.-Cuba rapprochement from the Republican-controlled Congress, which has resisted White House calls to lift the 50-year trade embargo on Cuba.
"I think Obama is going to announce new measures to eliminate bits and pieces of the embargo ... and that's a positive step air max 97 metallic gold for sale ," said the journalist and foreign affairs analyst.
However, the advances made so far could be dismantled by opponents of Obama's new Cuba policy, and restored ties could be used to unduly impact the island's development, he said.
"The danger lies in conditioning the normalization of ties between two independent states and neighbors, and one dictates the other's internal affairs air max 97 undefeated uk ," said Taladrid.
The United States and Cuba restored diplomatic relations in July 2015 and re-opened embassies in each other's capital after bitter rivalry lasting over half a century.
However, Washington continues to maintain a trade embargo on Cuba mandated by U.S. Congress.
Before ties are fully normalized, Havana demanded the end of the blockade, the return of Guantanamo Bay naval base, and compensation for the costs caused by decades of economic sanctions.

HAVANA, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- The announcement of Barack Obama's visit to Cuba in March has sparked hope that the U.S. president will gain a clearer understanding of the harm his country's embargo has brought to the island.
"Obama is showing courage about Cuba," said Maria Milian air max 97 silver bullet for sale , an 80-year-old who has been living in Havana throughout decades of confrontation between the countries.
BEIJING, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- The 2016 U.S. presidential election officially kicked off with the caucuses in Iowa this week. Though nine months remain in the race, the "China card" has been played repeatedly by both Republican and Democratic contenders.
It's become routine in U.S. elections of past decades to pounce on China. Constantly accusing China of various "wrongdoings" and blaming the incumbent president for his "soft stance" on China, the candidates often make exaggerated, irresponsible remarks or unrealistic promises about China to woo potential voters.
This has been typical among the GOP candidates. Texas Senator Ted Cruz air max 97 triple black for sale , the winner of Monday's Iowa Republican caucus, said the U.S. should turn the heat up on China and "immediately approve the sale of F-16s to Taiwan." Real estate mogul Donald Trump has vowed to designate China as a "currency manipulator" and to bring back "millions of jobs from China" if elected. Florida Senator Mark Rubio and Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie have both denied China's territorial claims over several islets in the South China Sea, saying the U.S. should "keep sending warships and planes" to the area.
As for the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been relentless in bashing China on the issue of cyber security, accusing the Chinese government of "stealing commercial air max 97 all white mens , military and personal information" through the Internet. And her major rival Bernie Sanders has taken a similar stance against China as Trump regarding the currency exchange rate and jobs.
Similar claims and vows have been heard before during election time, yet China and the U.S. have forged an ever closer relationship in recent decades, with China becoming the U.S.'s biggest trade partner and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries also expanding rapidly.
This new reality means that any chest-puffing during the election campaign won't translate into concrete action by whoever is sworn into office. The reason is simple: pragmatism always prevails when it comes to running a country. Moreover, the world's top two economies are so closely intertwined that their relationship won't be easily undermined by some irresponsible campaign rhetoric.
But the candidates should excercise caution. Irrational claims could lead to misunderstanding and even misjudgment and could cause a setback in bilateral ties.
Since the establishment of bilateral ties in 1979, the China-U.S. relationship has witnessed its ups and downs nike air max 97 summit white for sale , and history has shown that the strengthening of the ties requires understanding and trust, not troublemaking.
More importantly, since the U.S. presidential election is, after all, a political process for the American people to choose a competent leader air max 97 summit white restock , the candidates are better off focusing on domestic issues, which voters actually care about. The "China card" is mere scapegoating, an indication of a candidate's lack of competence in tackling do
