President Barack Obama is in Cuba for a historic three-day visit to the island and talks with its communist leader.
He
is the first sitting US president to visit since the 1959 revolution,
which heralded decades of hostility between the two countries.Mr Obama said change would happen in Cuba and that Cuban President Raul Castro understood that.
The two leaders are meeting to talk about trade and are scheduled to hold a joint news conference.
For decades, the US and Cuba were engaged in a bitter stand-off, triggered by the overthrow of US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista by Communist leader Fidel Castro in 1959.
President Obama is due to get down to the nitty gritty of politics in a face-to-face meeting with Cuban leader Raul Castro.
Their meeting at the Palace of the Revolution will be closely scrutinised for signs of how much practical progress has been made.
Ahead of the meeting, President Obama said he believed that "change is going to happen here and I think that Raul Castro understands that".
